Compressed air for rolling & emergency

Here is a high-tech solution to a problem we all have on occassion. I saw this in a Whitewater Paddler magazine ad, and I thought I'd share it just to get the flame war going.

There have been times when I though something like this would help during roll sessions and times when I've been scared with my head underwater in real life when this seems like it would have been cool to have. With my luck, I'd rely on it so much I wouldn't practice my roll, then not be able to find the breathing tube while my head was dragging along the rocks!
