Had a reg freeflow at 90 feet and my buddy froze up on me

I was working a bridge inspection job in Charleston last fall, swapping out bolts on a support piling. My first stage started freeflowing out of nowhere, dumping air fast, and my buddy just stared at me through his mask like a statue. I had to grab his hose and signal him to shut my valve while I switched to my backup regulator. We made it up fine, but that 30 seconds reminded me why you never assume your partner will react right in a pinch. Any of you had a dive partner go blank on you when things went sideways?
