Since there are some concerns, when diving deaths are reported, that it's inappropriate to discuss or it's unfair to the family or whatever the concerns may be what about simply editing the name out of all reports?
I don't know if this is necessary and if it concerns someone from this board we would want to know anyway but I think there is already a "condolences" section so that would remain the same. The death report would just not mention the name.
This is how it's done with the NTSB reports on aviation accidents. It's not quite the same here since there isn't anyone investigating scuba deaths in the same way as the NTSB so this is just a thought (actually I guess DAN does do something similar at least in the compiling sense).
I don't have a problem with discussing things the way we currently do but some do have a problem. I'm just wondering if this idea would help take some of the personal aspects out of it?
When we continue to speculate on a particular accident it rubs some the wrong way. Yet, discussing accidents in the abstract is harmless enough and can be beneficial if it keeps the subject of safety and some of the "what it's" on everyones mind.
I guess what I don't understand is the current approach...
A diving death occurs and is reported on this site. Initial information is never complete. If there are investigations involved nothing will be reported for months. If we can't discuss what may have happened then what is the point of the thread in the first place? Just have all such reports go to a moderator to post in a running no response allowed thread.
Otherwise, post the accident, take the names out and allow it to be discussed fully.
Good or bad idea?
