Glad to hear you weren't hurt in that episode. When I saw your note about this RD event in your home-made rack thread I thought to myself that's why engineering something is a better idea than just making it and seeing what happens. But then I figured one would have thought Simplex might have engineered them better. At least that one last a long time, Prestige or not. Failure Mode Analysis doesn't seem to have been part of the deal back then. Where is ISO when you need them?
