The weight pockets have dropped out four times when the release handles lightly snag on something. VERY lightly snags. Twice when the handles brushed against a guideline. Twice when I brushed against something during wreck entry.
One resulted in a barely controlable ascent. Fortunately from 15'! The other times I was able to grab something to hold myself down or was under an overhead cover! I can foresee a situation where this could be dangerous.
Really didn't buy this BCD to practice small object recovery!
The local dealer says: "never heard of the problem".
I find it hard to believe it's just my BCD. The fasteners appear to be in good condition.
I have dropped the weight in the pockets from 12 to 4 pounds and started using a belt again but the last inadvertent release occured after the change.
Is there a fix? Add on velcro? Recall? Otherwise I may put this BCD on E-bay and look elswhere.
