Deyan 36 #1 May 23, 2013 Good luck with those spectra reserve ripcords... ...I know it's another manufacturer who uses them, but it's worth thinking about "what if" for a moment!"My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Festus 0 #2 May 23, 2013 Yikes! Are there sharp edges on those coils when separated? Could a ripcord pin shoulder get hung up on one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billbooth 10 #3 May 25, 2013 Housing failures like this were considered with Spectra ripcord design. It does not appear to be any more of a problem than with metal ripcords. As a matter of fact, there have been several instances where Sigma main ripcord housings (same housing) were snagged on exit and uncoiled in similar fashion with no damage to the Spectra main ripcord.
