Anyone read this?
To summarize newish diver buys a Reg online. The first stage is defective, has metal shavings in it from manufacture, and blows out.
Diver freeflows, freaks, rockets to the surface and panics at the surface. Diver is OK after a rescue by the Boat Mate (DM).
Lesson - Don't buy your stuff online (in so many words). Actually to be fair they did indicate that some online dealers do check out the equipment before they sell it. However based on the underlying tone, it's very obvious that the message really is.. don't buy online.
But what the Ell??
The manufacture has NO responsibility in making sure that the equipment they sell works, and is NOT defective?
I've never been clear on why it would be an LDS responsibility to ensure that brand new equipment works? When I buy most ANYTHING, it's is NOT the responsibility of the retailer to open the box, and test it before a sale.
