Mo2vation once bubbled...
This attaches to (one of) your lower dump valve(s) - if I only had one lower valve I wouldn't use it as I believe it kills the valve dump capabilities and the valve becomes a dedicated inflator. If the valve remains usable until this thing is deployed, I'm all for it. But the ones I saw required a retro-fit and the "valve" sort of goes away and the hole in the bladder becomes the SOS inflator.
Its not "auto" inflate at all. Once you pull the cord, it only inflates when you're inflating your BC. If you pull the cord with no intention to use the device, i imagine some of the gas in your BC will migrate to the device - but there will be no additional lift.
So unless you're planning on using your BC as a jetpack to the surface, I can't see this thing contributing to an out of control ascent. Its sole source of gas is from a BC lower dump valve.
Agreed - the C02 version is scary stuff (rock on, eBay). This one will only be deployed by your BC inflator - I don't see the danger. Its sort of a hands-free sausage (or SMB.... whatever). I thought it was pretty cool (if you had 2 lower dump valves)
