Can't plan for everything

Weird, I've never had an issue with an upside down regulator?
Anyone know what was going on?
Could it be that he just forgot to purge before inhaling (on the first and second breaths)?

I've heard him talk in the past about wanting to do some experiments that Discovery thought were too mundane, so they never did them, such as testing if analog audio, such as vinyl records and audio cassettes, actually do sound better than digital audio, such as CD and MP3.

In this clip it seemed like he was talking more about big experiments they weren't allowed to do rather than experiments that were too small.

Try putting an upside-down reg in your mouth underwater. If it's in your mouth when you go upside-down, that's no problem. He likely didn't purge it either. Sounds like his problem was escalating fast.

he's talked about in the past that they wanted to do an episode on if the RFIDs in credit cards were secure. They were quickly shutdown by the credit card companies and kept from doing this.
