    True, but there are some "almost never visited" sites, with elaborate steps.

    I was standing at the bottom of the stairs on the flat wooden part just before the final stairs to OG, I was in full kit getting ready to walk up the stairs when a guy walking down carrying a single LP121 slipped, the tank came at me down the stars end over end as I watched in horror, all I could think was if that vavle lets go I'm screwed. I managed to JUST get out of the way as it lay there hissing, the regulator obviously damanged.

    After he got to his feet and picked his cylinder up, I felt bad for the guy and I said "you can cuss now" so he started cussing under his breath.

    There is no limit. We'll always find a way to go deeper and deeper. That's been the pattern all along.

    Falling on your butt is especially painfull when your reels hang back there. Now my buttplate will give me some cush.

    Yes it would be! LOL!

    On the other hand, an ER doc would be totally unsurprised.
