Not going into any great depth here, but personally, I don't see very many scenarios in Sat, where you would want to cut your umbilical. Id guess I'm veering close to Flynn where he said something like any specific danger should be addressed before hitting the water. All I can think of is how many fail-safes you would want in order that something like this doesn't go off accidentally. And did I read somewhere here that someone was thinking about an explosive device? On an umbilical? Next to the…

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Let's say there is a mechanism on your umbillical that in a mather of seconds cuts your umbillical in 2. It would need a build in safety mechanism so it doesn't go off by accident like Flynn says. Isn't it a better idea to install a quick release mechanism on the umbillical, so you can just re-connect after? As you all know quick release gas fittings have built in safety mechanisms aswell. In my opinion no need to secure it extra with oposite chinese fingers and…

In my opinion no need to secure it extra with oposite chinese fingers and carabina, it would only slow you down in the process. Thinking out loud here, maybe a good idea...

I'm not seeing the relation to an uncontrolled lift bag in sat. If his umbilical failed while he was stuck to 2 tons of lift he would have been dead before he could say deco. If we're talking in general, in a surface oriented dive, and your compressor shits itself while you're fouled, then wouldn't your backup supply be enough until the standby gets to you.(with bolt crops if necessary)?<br />
I think we have a good example of two opposing systems of diving, coming from two different directions. You…

<p>pretty sure the fact that the umbilical didnt fail was the only reason he lived.</p>

<p>and 9 times out of 10 you want your umbilical intact whether your pinned by it or not. your stuck- but at least you have air and comms.</p>
