Of course one failing is not going to cause the other to fail!
But if one is free flowing the second one attached to the same air source is not going to much good to you for very long.

I think the greatest potential is for getting pure O2 for my breather in remote locations.
I also read it will release the O2 into a near vacuum; so (in simplistic terms)
A) take a sheet of the stuff and wave it around to absorb O2
B) stuff said sheet into a vacuum canister
C) Apply suction...
I saw someone with a suunto on a dive trip. She got locked out of her suunto, ignored it, swapped it with a loan unit (which obviously had no record of her gas loading). Kept diving, ended up in a chamber.
