Big-ass 3-ring system

Recommended Posts

9,000 lb? We tested our shit to 20,000 lbs with out sign of damage. Our load cell only went to 20,150 lb but the real limit was that the safety bleed on the hydraulic cylinder wouldn't let us go over 20,000.

It looks about two sizes larger to me. Count up the rings. I think the smallest is a two.

wasn't it a Canadian company? What is the back story on that. I know borden has taken over the forging here in the us.

Circa 1990, the Canadian Army got a lump of money to develop a new military freefall rig, so they hired Irvin Industries of Canada to perfect Para-Flite's MT1-XXX??? series. One of the products was larger version of Booth's 3-Ring canopy release system (RW-9).
