well, that is certainly a strong opinion. I use both.
This was a onebadhawk 3/4 tubular nylon harness which has at least 2300 lbs of breaking strength which should have provided at least four sigmas of safety margin given the weight of the rocket and the size of the bp charge. There are very, very good reasons to use nylon, the biggest being it has significantly more give than Kevlar. This particular rocket uses a donut avbay, which doesn’t allow the use of an anti-zipper design. Had I used a Kevlar harness it would have cut right through my donut avbay like butter and I would likely lost everything. Luckily, all of the electronics continued to work and the entire rocket is ok.
This was a well used harness. I’m guessing UV degradation. Teddys stitches all held great.
