Im fine that the discussion has opened up.
Particularly as there appears to be only a few things to consider in the limited scenario I raised: 1. stay calm and breath slow/deep, 2. use manual inflation of BC if appropriate, 3. possibility of staggered breathing and 4. the possibility of buddy breathing if both are calm, trained and competent.
-Other than that, it would seem avoiding the scenario in the 1st place is altogether better. And that would be a matter of prevention and redundancy (ie.: good procedures, appropriate kit).
Thanks.
