Scary stuff!!:eek:
Had to laugh at this bit though.
The diver collapsed to the stage grating and suffered multiple contusions and a dental insult.
Bad enough getting injured but to be told you've got ugly teeth as well??:D
'A member has reported an incident in which a pillar valve from an emergency gas cylinder separated from the bottle while under pressure , rapidly releasing 50 cu ft of air to atmosphere and hitting a divers helmet.'
Oh ya boy , I bet that stung :D;)
Not a bad aim either :rolleyes:
that would have hurt like hell with the shock.
just as well it wasnt a scooby diver as he would be most likely dead.
Is that an A-clamp pilar valve??
wow, heros do actually use A-clamps, what ever next!
