With all this growing failure paranoia, I assume you're calculating open water free ascents in the event you can't get back to the anchor or shot line and don't have a sausage and reel to create your own "yellow brick road" back to the surface.
BTW, I dove double 72 steels wet from 1969 to 1989 and not once in those 20 years was this "issue" ever mentioned, let alone having any kind of gear failure. But then we dove for fun back then and weren't a bunch of doomsday "gear heads". Just my PHP (personal honest opinion).
