[JE]

Exactly what I was thinking. I could be wrong but that is the way I read it.

just wondering......is this case settled....or just getting started?.......

[Sludge]

This is how it should happen:

Defense counsel: Ms. Skiles, can you show us your late husband's C-card, or some other evidence that he was properly trained?

Ms. Skiles: I don't have any; Wes was never trained to use an O2ptima.

Judge: Case dismissed.

Somewhere in the middle, it has been going on for several years.

Hmmm, maybe, maybe not. The jury doesn't understand the technical jargon they are hearing, and have to base their judgement on the presentations of plaintiff, and defense attorneys.

You are probably learning that OC is much safer than CCR.

I am not a rebreather diver. I was repeating my understanding of what I read on this or another forum at the time of his death. I'm learning all kinds of things on this thread.

Fiddlesticks...

if you didn't have the ability to take manufacturers to court you'd have fuel tanks that exploded in low speed collisions, thalidomide in vaccines, toys that can choke your kids, SUV's that are rollover prone, Toyota's with runaway acceleration, Vioxx that caused heart attacks, Fentanyl pain patches that cause overdoses. I could go on. Let justice work it's course. Whoever prevails will have done so because their qualified experts will have persuaded an impartial jury that their version of the facts is more likely than not. It is in no one's interest, certainly not those of you choosing to put your life on the line in relying on a rebreather to limit the consumers access to the courts. The system works, it isn't broken and it doesn't need fixing IMHO.

I think Rule #6 prevents me from voicing my VERY strong opinion on this sentence.

#3 and #7, too.
