Moderately good news: Halon dumps aren't instantly fatal.
Seeing as how I spend a good fraction of my day within a couple
of feet of some giant red Halon tanks in the concrete bunker -
oops, officially it's called "computer room" - this is good to know.
I'd been heavily trained that when the Halon dump alarm sounds, you
*get out*. Now I know a little more, especially about the dead-man
switch you can use to delay an electronically-triggered dump.
This is almost certainly not a dead-man switch in any sense.
