Default Safety tether snaps

You must have enjoyed reading "Shadow Divers" I had the privilege of
working with those two characters on the Titanic expedition last
summer. (If you didn't read it, you should)

I was agree entirely about the harness end release. I was actually
asking about the free end where I have heard a lot of negative things
about the standard snap shackle that seems to work so well in other
applications.

Do you know the story of how a clip shackle killed Edwin Link's son?
