Using the same pliers, try now to cut a Spectra reserve closing loop and you will see it's another story.
That's all correct and understood... ya sorta missed my THREE statements about the SUCCESSFULdemonstration of an UNtightened (loose hanging) reserve loop being cut?
So it wont let me up load the video here but I found another spot on the web site to up load it. It will be under "loop cut 1" and "loop cut 2" in missolanious. It looks like it will have to go through some kind of approval process, probable checking for kiddi porn, but it shud be up soon. Boringest vid ever for any non rigger. In any case keep an eye out.

You should have called your thread "Cypres cuts loop but due to my f*ckin' cam I didn't get around to taping it so I will at least show the one with a ripcord being cut" to highlight the point
FIFY OK, would have been a loooooooooooooooooooong subject, but heck...
So what you're seeing there is a Vigil cutter wired into our computer. There's a fuse in parillel with it. You'll see the fuse blow and the cutter fire cutting the loop. It's a 500 lb vectran loop. The thin wire runs through the cutter giveing the computer feed back on the release of the main. You'll also see a pin puller being activated at the same time although it's macanicaly slower. At the top of the frame you can just see the top of the recovery section. This is the setup we used on the last flight in early nov.
