"sport" lift bag

found this on an "un-named" mail order scuba site while looking for lift bags.

***

CARTER LIFT BAG 12000LB OPEN LIFT BAG


Lifts up to 12000 pounds
Excellent for sport divers
Suitable for many types of underwater lifting and light salvage
Diver-actuated dump valves
Open bottom vents expanding air as it ascends
Economical and lightweight
Folds into neat, compact roll for easy handling underwater.

***

now maybe it's just me, but 12,000lbs for "Sport Divers" and "Light" salvage? I like Carter bags and all but a 12,000lb bag is NOT Econimical and Lightweight.

maybe some of you will find the humor in this - I laughed pretty hard. every open water diver needs a 12,000lb bag...

Smile Typo?

Could be a Typo. Wouldn't be the first time in advertising. I know, I've made them. (Not often!) Maybe it should read 1200lbs?
