So again we are going on suggestion and hypothesis, but not proof. Where is the reasearch that supports your claims? Can you site as single paper in a scientific journal?
Many ideas are suggested, and simply wrong. Look there may be potenial risk, but there is potential risk driving to work every day. Bone necrosis may be a subclinical form of DCS. By this way this impacts both children, and adults. For adults the implications are long term loss in bone density. But we know how to manage the risk of DCS: diving within table limits, slow ascents and safety stops. If these concepts are not understood by any diver 9 or 90 they should not be diving.
Be safe, but be scientific.
