Take your blinders off.
There are more types of divers then wreckers. We have already covered that some hunters prefer backpacks in lieu of the questionable safety risk.
Probably the reason no one is responding this post, except for you to berate it, is that the data and the methodology is not open for review.
It is hard to believe a diver with doubles and wings is more "slippery" than a single tank backpack diver.
It is just easier to ignore the unsubstantiated claim until more reliable information is forthcoming.
I suspect a mistake has been made or possibly some bias.
If you would not have denounced Ben Mazin earlier, there might have been a good chance he could try to duplicate the test.
