Re: Flying Underwater, A Blast From The Past

As an aside, I think they may to have to go back to the drawing board on Powerswim to reconsider the mode of attachment to the diver. The 55 year old Aqueon concept allows the diver to instantly and easily pop both legs out. If I were a SEAL on a mission, I wouldn't be comfortable with being unable to separate from the unit very rapidly. The diagrammed "rings" and contoured calf plates shown in previous photos may not release the diver all that easily depending on how they are configured. The plates look comfortable, the rings on the other hand appear to be potentially painful in the extreme based on time using the Aqueon. Wonder if they've been T&E'ed yet, perhaps not. On the other hand, details are lacking on this point in what information is currently available.
