I'm thinking the next product on the market will be a pressure gauge that alarms on low pressure. I don't know why someone hasn't developed that yet.

Trust me I went right to church after that ordeal!
I never did another penetration without doubles, a pony and a can of Spare air after that. It took a long time before I got the nerve to even try it again. I was really spooked.
I dont understand why there are no alarmed guages yet. We have them on our fire dept Scott packs. The primary factor in me runing out of air was not keeping an eye on my guage. didnt have a computer back then. I was exerting myself trying to remove something off the wreck and my air consumption basically trippled. when I noticed my reg was not flowing I looked at my guage an I was down to 200 psi. which I went through in about 5 breaths.
