Among my group of friends, 100 hours seemed to be about the norm for a "come to Jesus" moment.
Who has had to bailout?

Oh boy, maybe I better sell it when reaching 99
Nope, won't happen. Very happy with my JJ.

In my opinion, the number one cause has to be brain fade by the dumbass who put the machine together to go diving!
On a demo dive? At 10 feet (what he said)?
Probably with dil you didn't analyze yourself? Possibly also with BO you didn't analyze yourself...
Dil flush, or bail to OC? I don't know that there is one, single "right answer" in that situation.
It was a demo dive and at 10 feet. If I was carrying my own personal BO cylinder, I would probably go to that and be done. First principles and all that. No bonus points for staying on the loop in that situation.

Our friend gave me 45 minutes on this while we were working out one morning recently!
At 30 feet, you're not going to tox yourself but it always seems to me that a boatload of **** goes wrong at the same time. Unless you've got the previously mentioned "blub" thing going on, the loop is probably ok and a dil flush won't hurt you wherever you may be. I hear a lot of stories about people bailing out and forgetting to close the DSV, which creates a whole new monkey#$%& to deal with so unless the rig is flooding or you feel funny, staying on it is probably the way to go.

Two Bailouts -
#1 was just after my Mod1 course when I did a fairly long dive in about 20 metres and towards the end of the dive my HUD went nuts to alert me to look at the handset - unfortunately it wasn't always easy to spot the problem on the horrible Poseidon paddle so I bailed and while doing a stop in 3m realised that the O2 pressure was very low.
#2 was also on the recreational version of the Poseidon (no manual adds), the ADV was very very tight after being serviced and I couldn't get it to fire during descent which wasn't a lot of fun so bailed.

To which one has to ask why? As in why would you buy a Closed-Circuit machine that's been deliberately restricted and requires money to make into a working machine?
There definitely are good reasons for a SCR, diving in places without high pressure oxygen for example.
