Default why no in-hull Hypalon autoinflating system to avoid foundering ?

Out of business
On most boats the hull to deck joint is not strong enough to take the
stress of the bags pushing *up* when submerged. What happens is the
bag deploys and floats to the cabin top ..... as the deck separates
from the hull, the bag escapes into the sea. Then the boat is easier
to sink! .... maybe once could catch such a bag as it erupts through
a broken deck joint ......... nah - thats called a liferaft.

Has any such similar system been tried ? What was wrong ?

If available, please point to vendor.

Appreciatively,
