As I read this thread I thought the same thing. A simple inflatable vest would have done the trick.
The big problem is that Loic (I read in an interview) did not like to use safety divers as he felt that endangering another person by having them cive to 600ft on mixed gas was not worth the risk.
Still it sounds like a simple scuba diver would have made a difference.
Its just so sad.
I don't think banning No Limits is the answer as people will still attempt it whether its "official" or not.
Its obvious now that the counterweight system is flawed and a new safety system needs to be designed to do these deep dives safely.
