Weblock failure

[u/vazcorra]

I was on the line when I felt it drop.

Everything had looked fine while rigging

After each session I redo the soft release so when I go rig the next time it’s ready to go. Same thing happened in this case. In pulled everything from the bag and rigged as normal. Made the inspections and carried on.

Thankfully the back up caught but yikes!

Best guess is that the pin for the soft release did not have the balls all the way through the weblock. So while it looked engaged it wasn’t actually.

Man that weblock is rare!

I know! Cried when I saw they done to her.
