You advise:
"...you could always drop your weight belt or weight pouches in case your B/C floatation device failed, but that would lead to an uncontrolled EBA ascent. with a spare lift bag in your B/C pocket, your ascent could be controlled by bleeding air from the bag as you ascend. this would even allow you to perform a normal safety stop or deco stop, as needed."
How, precisely, do you control an uncontrolled ascent by inflating a lift bag? Wouldn't that accelerate the ascent?
