May be you will, maybe you won't, I don't know. The indecent I described is as close as I've ever came to losing my weight belt and I honestly don't want to find out the hard way weather you would rocket to the surface or not. A lot depends on how thick your wetsuite is and if you are properly weighted or not as you and Tigerman both pointed outDisagree all you want, but it simply does not work that way. You will not "rocket to the surface."
:surprised Really?! That's funny, I don't remember you being there at the time? Or are you just psychic or something?... it does not happen the way you described...
You seem to be missing one of the main points to learn from the incident I had. Which is near panic over a perceived danger that really didn't exist. Which your view point actually reinforces.
And if you read the whole thread... you would see that I clarified the whole rocket ride thing anyway:
...I was thinking let go of the weight belt which would have caused me to rocket to the surface (well.. maybe not "rocket to the surface" but a very rapid ascent at any rate, but that was my thinking at the time)....

That would be a very interesting video indeed. Please post a link when you do.Some day... I'm going to make a video about this. I also get so fed up with the misconception that loss of a belt is a "rocket ride" to the surface.
