As we have both said, PPV is kinda ass'd up, but it can work. What I didn't say on the other site was how frustrating it is to work for someone who has never known anything but PPV and so they are afraid of Vert. Vent and VES and are unwilling to admit. That is just as dangerous. How many guys are actually killed every year performing Vert. Vent..... Not many, in fact, I don't think any in recent years.
