Uncontrolled descent? Can you clarify what happend? Was it caused by the bungee's?

Guy on a liveaboard last year diving doubles and a bungeed wing (forgot which brand) - while gearing up his pull dump knob got tucked behind a bungee on the wing, and when he entered the water - his pull dump was stuck open. He went to inflate his wing, but it could only partially inflate, as the wing would inflate to a point where the swelling wing would make the pull dump open (knob stuck under the bungee remember?), and he didn't have enough lift. Hit the bottom in 60' or so, had to get a buddy to find what the problem was.

This is the second or third similar story about bungeed wings that I've read from this and other boards. What always surprises me is that the diver always seems to hit bottom instead of arresting their descent by swimming up.
Doesn't make any sense to me.
