What failure causes a zipper?
What failure causes a zipper?
Believe me, it can happen with thick tubular nylon, too ... ahem ... or so I've heard.The shock cord getting yanked by the recovery device in such a way that it cuts the airframe tube. This occurs almost exclusively with thin shock cords, like Kevlar and braided nylon. (At least, to the extent of my knowledge.)
And no, its not a stupid question at all. Everyone has to learn some time.
EDIT: Must learn to type faster!
First- the ONLY stupid question is the one that isn't asked. I trained all three sons to 'ask the next question' so any doubts are removed from their minds and I know they understand the basic idea behind the answer and concept.What failure causes a zipper?

Sucks it does, but it's not a real big job to fix. I'm actually going to use it to make my Goblin a bit scarier - the fix will be adorned with scarring and stitches.Yip, That's what I am talking about. That has to make a guy sick when it happens.
