Any info about diver falling on his own knife?

[pt40fathoms]

Was he at least horizontal and wearing a proper "HOG" setup?

.....

Oh wait.....I guess if he fell on it, that would mean he was horizontal, and therefore didn't violate any DIR codes.

Ken- also a good reason to use a small BCD knife instead of the big pig sticker. When I think of the old "Bowie knives" we used to dive with in the 60's and 70's...

Oh geez! I got this REALLY cool titanium kinetics dive knife. I was SO proud of that knife.....until......

The guys I have been diving with just laugh and tell me to e-bay it! I can't even get them to help me figure where to mount it.

Guess that self stabbing is what could happen to me.....(do they really know what a klutz I am???)

Kristi -- you're building my confidence for Utila -- that would make TWO armed klutzes going there

Sadly, this will probably go into the books as a dive accident caused by equipment failure.

I almost sat on my dive knife once....

Hmmmm I wonder if my DAN insurance would cover it ?

Can't be classified as equipment failure . . . the knife worked!!!

hey, kristi, mount it in the wing of whoever's teasing you! that'll shut 'em up!

Why was'nt the knife in a sheath? I don't think the size of the blade is at fault, the fact that he was fooling around with any knife when he could fall on it is the problem!
Maybe it wasn't his fault, he may have just been grooming the lint out of his bellybutton, when he was pushed from behind. Yet another needless, fatal, personal grooming accident. There should be a new certification class to stop these needless horrors.

Marcie, It's Bobby, He might turn my tank off or something when I'm not looking.....don't wanna mess with him! Hahahah

I think Matt had a snicker at my expense too.

And Charlie, well, Charlie laughs right along with them.

I get NO RESPECT I tell ya!

Might be something I can stick between my matress and box spring in case of an intruder.......
