Hi!
I have read on this board of several incidences where people received a DCS hit that was localised due to e.g. wrapping the hang line around their arm, tight boots which cut off circulation. I mentioned this during a class as an interesting tid bit and also to have students remember not to wrap themselves up and also to get comfortable/snug gear as opposed to tight. The instructor "challeneged" me afterwards to come up with some references to support my stories which are by definition anecdotal. Does anyone know of any references or stats which address this occurance?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
