133 for doubles? how common is it?

I never thought of those clips and this site is to learn I am still getting used to my dry gloves and will potentially invest in those clips and to add to my defense I never took the time to really think of the situation and I was thinking about what I would do if I had a run away inflator this thread has taught me a lot

Sorry I didn't mean to sound snippy just wanted to explain that it really should never be an option.

If you're diving doubles you can isolate that valve on the manifold to make it easier (already mentioned above).
In some cases I've known people that ice dive or dive in extremely cold water not to bother hooking their LP inflator and to just simply orally inflate.
Practice disconnecting and connecting with dry gloves. It definitely takes more effort but it's not impossible. I make my students do it all the time during a dryshit course and a lot of them have dry gloves.
Adding one of those LP inflator flanges will help tremendously but it's certainly not required.
Occasionally LP inflators get gunked up with salt and debris making them harder to remove, a good cleaning with vinegar can help fix this.

The shear thought of 133 doubles literally kills me. It sounds like hell.

Sounds like another fatality to report on Scubaboard.
