I need to think about this a bit.

I need to think about this a bit.

Better start a thread and maybe we can get a consensus about it.

Stupid me. This is team thinking.

I hadn't thought about that.

Don't forget to add lost mask, cut guide line, left post roll off, run away inflator (dry suit and wing), lost deco gas and light failure to the possible failure list. Now enumerate all of the possible scenarios and the "answers" so you don't have to "think".

I guess I wasn't clear. The point was to go over what could happen with the major failures that reduce your gas resources on the bottom. Without being comfortable with those, then the additional stressors are just going to cause total chaos. If the team is comfortable with the easily foreseeable stuff then they'll have a lot more bandwidth to deal with other surprises.

IMO it's also important to identify your own predispositions.

Some folks act very instinctively and rationally (i.e. better in unanticipated / un-drilled situations) other folks tend to make things to complicated and react slowly or inappropriately in situations they haven't had significant practice in.

These are items to learn about yourself and adjust reactions accordingly. I'd say that it's also important to learn these things about team members to understand why someone may be reacting slightly differently than you may expect.
