Re: freedive cause bend?

Hey guys,
I always thought getting bent was from Nitrogen bubbles getting into the joints as you surfaced from a Scuba dive too quickly or without de-compressing enough.
Freediving was capable of causing the bends but only after diving for years as with the early pearl divers.
I have only heard of these cases, so my thoughts are after diving Scuba and Free over the years are we are much safer Freediving than we are on Scuba.
Just another perspective.
