Quick Survey!! regarding the development of an Automated BCD (please fill it out :)

[broncobowsher]

The problem with poorly designed polls is the data they collect is flawed. Every step downstream that uses that data will be flawed. And the final product will fail.

I know right? I couldn't help myself

I'm still LOLing!

You mean its not????

No no no no no no,
breathing is.

Then why do so many people try to fix it with back inflate BCs?

I am not mentioning GUE

Ok, ok, let the bonfire begin

Burn, heretics, burn?

This was in the back of my mind as well, but I didn't bring it up because I'm not mechanically inclined. I suppose if the technology were such that there could never be a mishap because the BC thought to inflate or deflate and was wrong, that would be OK. Has anyone heard of any whiz gadget we have today that NEVER messed up on it's own.....?

A failure like that creates a life threatening situation.

Back inflate BCs are not a solution to poor buoyancy control. They are a solution to a ****** BC (jacket BCs.)

Now the bonfire may begin.

You don't need to give a real email address... just sayin'.

diver@example.com

Don't have a Google account, and don't randomly give out my email address, not to mention the survey looks more ESL than Yale. I'll pass.

Dude, it was only a joke relax! I was making light of the other thread where it was talked about

I remember a couple of years ago someone displayed a BCD at DEMA that would inflate if it detetcted that the diver had stopped breathing for x amount of time. I never saw or heard about this BCD again, but this article seems to indicate that it was manufactured - Diver Guard – Automatically brings you to the surface in an emergency

It seemed like the worst bcd idea that I could imagine, but clearly my imagination is lacking because this is worse...

Note that the OP does not appear to be reading any of this. Haven’t been on the board since they posted it.
