I have had leaking inflators a couple of times, no runaway. One of my cave buddies had a runaway in open water once though. Brand new (non-halcyon) plastic inflator.
My wife had the whole hose on her BCD pop off the elbow, so the "balanced rig" concept really came into play on that dive.
If you dive often enough and across the range of conditions, I think all of the failures discussed and managed in GUE's program happen eventually. Dsteding had a primary light failure last weekend. Which was due to a faulty volt meter suggesting that he picked up a charged battery from his gear when he had not.
Its not just to Halcyon gear.
