As a solo diver you would ideally have analysed all dangers of a given dive and taken appropriate actions to mitigate these risks. This includes being in perfect physical and mental state on the day of your dive, such that you would be able to quickly and unambiguously notice if your body tells you that something is wrong.
Still, the one thing you would not have control over is if you became unconscious or otherwise incapacitated (unlikely, I know, but it has happened, right?).
What if you had a device that automatically inflated your BCD if you went unconscious, say you failed to push a button every 30 seconds to confirm to the device that you are still with us.
Clearly there are a lots of problems with this: Being bent at the surface, inhaling water, bumping into boats, etc. I can see many ways that this device would simply bring an otherwise dead body to surface.
But still, what are your thoughts on this? Could such a device provide a real benefit?
