I have no idea where you have got this from. The evidence you're presenting is one case where a guy a) forgot to turn his pony on, and b) failed to react calmly in a stressful situation. I can't believe either of these factors were the result of "diving systems/configs/procedures they have designed/developed themselves"

Janos - You are either intentionally or accidently being very rude ... you are implying I am lying and I don't take that too kindly.

I used that one incident as an illustration of my point ... the guy was not diving a recognised configuration set up in a correct way....ergo he had invented his own system ....whether by choice or accident.

In the 2007 report, two case of divers dying because they penetrated a wreck and ran out of gas .... they had not been appropriately trained to penetrate wrecks so were making up their own procedure for doing this ....either consciously or unconsciously.

Again 2007, two cases where divers were diving as a three, untrained in diving as a three so making up their own procedures.

Again 2007, a rebreather diver diving on his home made rebreather

I could, sadly, go on like this throughout all the reports but still it would not convince you I am sure.....but I would appreciate if you didn't call me a liar again.

This is not an exercise in mathematics, statistics or probability ....it's people's lives.
