I can see where you're coming from Lou, but for OOG you have either clipped off your primary because you really are out or because it's a drill. If it's not a drill then that's not good cos you now have 2 out of 3 OOG so getting out is going to be a 3-way buddy breathing event unless you have stages!

If it's a drill the team won't be almost out of gas cos you would have thumbed the dive already by then, so it's a failure of the donator's kit that's happened. In this case the 3rd team member would step in to donate to the (now OOG) donator whilst the person simulating OOG for the drill can switch quickly to their backup reg (because they weren't really out) and unclip the primary in a relaxed manner.

Hope that makes sense!
