The Chrysalis release system worked quit well at least when it had relatively few jumps logged on it. I know because I had a 1987 Northern Lite container with this system and initiated a clean cutaway using it in '92. Later, however, the webbing and or cable loop that kept the folding plates tight in place stretched a bit after about 300 jumps. This caused the folding plates to become dislodged from the triangular holding plate occasionally. ¬¬¬Probably causing a hard cutaway pull or maybe a breakaway from that side due to excess stress on the cable loop as the leverage advantage is lost. I caught this problem a couple times, thankfully before the jumps (always inspect your system) and then finally sent the rig back to Paraphernalia for a three ring release mod. Blue skies!Quote
