SparticleBrane:
I always inflate my BC to it's max before every dive, for two reasons. 1: to make sure that it holds air, and 2: to make sure that the overpressure release valve functions.

Terrible accident--hopefully someone will learn something from it and won't make the same mistake.

Good plan - I usually dont fill mine until the end. Be a bad time to learn of a problem. The BC is second only to the Reg in life support equipment that can malfuntion leading to accidents.
