If I had both a drysuit and wing inflator failure I'd send the bag up on a spool/reel line and use the line to help with ascent if needed. I wouldn't attach it to myself inflated though.

You can use the same argument about your wing or your dry suit, what if your dump valve fails and your power inflator gets stuck and your valve doesn't dump fast enough and so on..Jonny_Rocket:The thing with attatching it to your scooter ring is what if the dump fails or doesn't dump fast enough? By the time you take out a cutting tool you've already took a ride you know?
Maybe I misunderstood what you're saying but have you ever tried swimming up with a set of doubles and stages without any kind of bouyancy device? I myself can't do it.. even with a set of 104's and nothing else..Sideband:If I had both a drysuit and wing inflator failure I'd send the bag up on a spool/reel line and use the line to help with ascent if needed.
