[quote=waiex191]Thanks for a useful thread. I currently don't have trapeze lines and I only have one harness. A quick release is one place I may spend money - I have teenagers.
When I worked at Sikorsky we had to do dunker training every couple of years to be on the cleared to fly list. Part of the training was to use those little scuba bottles. The trick is when you use them, you get a gallon of water in your sinus cavity unless you are right side up. You can still breathe, but in an emergency you don't get to choose what your attitude will be. For training they had us hook our legs on the side of the pool, and immediately go upside down against the pool wall. Then you get used to the water in your sinuses and can breathe. I think that is a key thing to experience so you can actually use the bottle in an emergency.
Also, interestingly enough, the key benefit of the bottle was touted as a tonic against panic. Pretty much all the escapes we practiced could be done without the bottle - unless you panicked.
