I'm thinking about it but it seems complicated and therefore easy to screw up.
Are the SCBA/EEBD methods more reliable? That equipment is awfully expensive, right?
SCUBA and SCBA are very different, as it the exit bag, as it relates to administration of the inert gas (preferably nitrogen for all the reasons stated in this thread and others).

That said, both SCUBA and SCBA methods are far more reliable than the bag. I'm using SCUBA and nitrogen. If you do it right, it's 100% guaranteed to knock you unconscious in 10-15 seconds and kill you in 3-4 minutes. Think about it...SCUBA masks and regulators are meant for people to breath oxygen underwater. All of your inhaled air is nitrogen; all of your exhaled air leaves the regulator, like when you see bubbles when SCUBA divers exhale underwater. But that's why you need adapters, because SCUBA regulators are built to screw into oxygen tanks, not nitrogen tanks.
Yes, it's expensive. I spent a total of $900 on my setup.
Just ratchet straps/tie-down straps that you can get in most hardware stores: . And you tighten it after you adjust the mask or is it preset?

It's overwhelming at first when you start researching it. But in the end, it's not as complicated as it looks. I'm an English teacher. If I can do it (which I hope is successful here soon), younger people who play video games and other technology stuff should be able to do it.
You can lower costs though. The gas is going to be expensive regardless, unless you already own the tank and can just get it refilled. But @

this very useful guide. It talks about buying used SCUBA equipment. This guy apparently bought a regulator for $60 used. Mine was $300 new.
