I have a 38lb OMS wing on a Dive Rite SS backplate, it has served me well and we've become
old pals. Sometime though, I wish there was a second dump valve on the right wing. There are times
I need to dump air fast, and I have to "do the Wing roll" that is, roll onto my right side to force the air
bubble to the left wing, then nose down, left arm twist to grab plastic knob on string to release it.
The jacket BC people wont understand this, the have like 3-4 dumps with nice routed release plastic knobs
to pull on at their leisure.
I don't like to stop, go vertical, grab inflation/dump hose and yank it to the sky, push release valve, if
I can help it.
So, besides the "minimize points of failure" is their a reason behind only one wing valve on the left side?
