If you really want to make them dangerous just add a Halcyon inflator.
LOL...the SS POS

Aw, man! Now you changed the poll and I can't re-vote! Now the results are doomed to be flawed. We're never gonna figure this out now!
I know...what a burn.
 
Tamas:
What exactly does this mean? "BWOD's are fierce predators." and how is that relevant to the poll?
Hunt you down and try to kill you.
 
Tamas:
Oh ok, but how is that relevant to the poll? It's an automatic negative connotation
I do believe it was meant to be a joke.

Bungees are nothing but cool looking SCUBA gadgets that solve nothing and introduce a host of problems.

That's the way I feel about spring straps for fins. I know a guy that bought a set too small for his feet and they caused foot cramps. Therefore all spring straps are dangerous and introduce unnecessary risks. One time I routed my long hose incorrectly and it got stuck on the isolation valve handle which caused the reg to be pulled from my mouth when I turned my head. That has never happened with my short hose rig so it must be an inherent danger of the long hose. If I fail to detune my adjustable reg and it freeflows it must then be that adjustable regs are more dangerous than non-adjustable regs.
Failure to properly install or inspect a piece of kit does not mean the kit is faulty.

Pretty easy. There are lots of free animated gif editors out there that are easy to use.
