Re Dyneema Launch failures
We currently have 1 cable with Dyneema shock rope attached
to semi rigid strop with weak link and 1 cable with a more traditional 2/3rd in hemp rope, the hemp shock rope has more weight and makes cable drop clear quicker than the floaty Dyneema set up - it has been mentioned that we will return to the old setup as it appears safer

Re Dyneema Launch failures
Do you use a parachute?
