Hose pull dumps are the cause of most BC failures.

I wish I had found this out duing my SSI OWD course, instead of at 60' on a wall

I used the pull dump all the time, until one day I pulled on it and tore the hose right at the fitting on the BC.

This is typically a Bad Thing, since once the hose is gone, so is the air. 8-(
