The answer to this lies in where the design originated. It was developed by adventurer Steve Fossett as a ONE-TIME submersible, which would have suited what he was using it for.

The company that now owns the design supplemented this with an active sensor system that would warn when any area was going to degrade/breach (apparently Carbon fibre degrades after every usage?). It either didn't work or the crew had no time to react to that information.

There's a brilliant thread about it somewhere. Will see if I can find it.
