Life Ending Seconds ADVANCED DIVER MAGAZINE By Curt Bowen
Actually a HP failure isn't a big deal. Personally, I think the extension hose is a solution looking for a problem.
Thanks for sending the link to that interesting article, but their HP hose failure test took 22 minutes to drain the tank and their LP failure drained the tank in just 81 seconds. It seems reasonable to assume If a transmitter broke off the HP port at depth it would empty the tank in a furious blast of air that would be quite dramatic(30 - 40 seconds??). A break off is a worst case scenario, although maybe unlikely to happen this way.
