A panicked diver will quite often grab the regulator they see blowing bubbles. There is even a youtube video of it live.Just ask your self this question...
Which reg is my OOG buddy going for when he needs one
I can promise you, he/she goes for the one he/she sees working
Which leads to the discussion of donating the primary and bungeeing the backup reg. Of course a hose long enough to comfortably donate the primary comes into play too.
My gear is matching primary and bungee backup. I like having a reg I can detune when not in use, then open up for easy breathing at depth.
