The information was given to correct a statement made earlier pointing the blame on the employee of the dive shop.seahunter once bubbled...
Thanks for the graphic details bubble boy. I'm not entirely sure if much was gained by reading that anymore than we are more careful drivers by hearing how a person's head was torn off in a car accident.
Some technical deatils that are not common knowledge might be more interesting. I am not defending nor attacking anyone by stating these things.
1. Stationary compressed air bottles are not required to be visually inspected. Even the storage ones in every dive store are NOT inspected each year. A visual is unique to portable bottles and particularly to scuba for a variety of reasons which you may be able to guess - marine environment and private (read sloppy) care.
How often do you visually inspect your store cascade bottles?
