[Finless]

Despite the slightly inflamatory Topic Title, this is a genuine question.

As I understand it some of the DIR kit choices, if not dictated by, are certainly influenced by potential failure points (one piece harness, fin straps etc). Are there any statistics available from the DIR agencies on instances of where things have failed thereby supporting their choices.

I have opened several polls on YD on the subject. Unfortunately the results are from a relatively narrow section of the diving population and, as such, the results are of limited value.

The purpose of this question is so that I can get a more realistic (based on statistics?) view on the likelyhood of suffering a problem.

Further, does anyone know if there is anywhere that this kind of data can be found (if not available from GUE etc).
