The problem posed by the M6 that jss is asking about is the shroud or covering that seals around the mobile pieces. If it's sealed and the internal volume filled with some kind of inert gas, the shroud will flex as the ADR, and the person it's in, go up an down in elevation or dive to depth. I'd be surprised if it was filled with a gas rather than something like sterile saline but beats me what Spinal Kinetics actually did.
