Hi,
The video very much speaks for itself. It's worth noting I'm on a single steel 15 litre and 3 litre pony, my buddy is on manifolded twin 12's.

And a dive profile showing SAC/Depth. The SAC is a heavily smoothed curve, hence the missing first two minutes and the slow rise to over 500 lpm. I could check the raw data and would guess that it is actually somewhere around 700 lpm.
You'll probably ask yourselves why Ian (my buddy) didn't do a shutdown, well he openly admits that he can't reach his manifold - that is something we've discussed before and are dealing with separately. I knew I could do it for him but was not willing to risk shutting down the wrong pillar/valve/manifold etc particularly as at that point I myself had nothing left to donate had I screwed it up.
It is for this same reason why I didn't ask Ian to shutdown my main cylinder (which would avoid the risk of water ingress and a clean/visual on the cylinder). The possibility of him shutting down my pony by mistake was not a risk I was willing to take.
So boys and girls, please don't turn this into a Pony debate, and we're both aware of the changes Ian needs to make in order to operate his manifold. Other than that fire away!
Kind Regards
Bill
P.S. One other lesson learnt which wasn't mentioned on the video. Top cover reckons it took him three days to unclench his sphincter .... apparently two freeflows on the low pressure side at the same location make for a very impressive sight at the surface, but not very pleasant waiting to see if we're okay.
