I'm considering switching to an OMS bungied wing, which I understand is verboten in DIR because the bungies are perceived to be an entanglement risk.
These wings are quite popular among wreck divers up here in the NE U.S.
My impression of DIR is that sometimes folks go overboard, but sometimes they have it right so its worth getting a DIR perspective on equipment.
So my question is: Are there records of actual entanglement accidents due to use of bungied wings? Is the ban on bungied wings based on empirical fact, or is it something DIR folks have inferred based on general principles?
Thanks.
