I do remember there being a way in Turbo C++ for turning on the Num Lock, Caps Lock & Scroll Lock LEDs ahh the fun that could be had by running the Exe and being able to send Morse messagaes...

It's a great way to get information off of a closed/disconnected system. Install 'virus' that reads data and blinks the keyboard LEDs, then capture the output and convert it back to digital information...

I have used the scroll lock key in the not-too-distant past when reviewing logs on an Alpha/VMS system. The fasted way to view the log it to simply send it to the screen, not edit it, especially if the file it still open by an application.
As it scrolls past, I know the patterns I am looking for and will hit scroll lock when I see them to allow me to review the text in detail.
Just because many have no use, doesn't know no one has a use for it.

I installed AutoHotKey and _all_the_time_ use ScrollLock for running "ProcessExplorer" (from SysInternals). Actually I have 10 more helpful keys, but you asked for ScrollLock - I'm happy we have so "useless" key!  )

The trouble with that joke is that it's pretty much the actual reason! With the weight on their backs the centre of gravity is shifted to the point that it is muscle tearingly difficult to roll forward.

Well the real answer is so that the dive mask doesn't get ripped off your face. All scuba equipment is somewhat firmly attached to the body and for the most part protects it, except for the dive mask. Entering the water backwards also is the best direction for your fins.
... and they don't always fall off backwards. In the 1970s I was taught a technique called UDT named after the US military Underwater Demolition Team where you dive headfirst off the side of a moving boat such that your back hits the water first - again to protect the mask. I can't find any pictures of it but I'm pretty sure that there were plenty in 1972.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
