[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4126291, member: 26737"] CW "Mover" Lemoine interviewed an F14 RIO who had to punch out on a carrier landing when the arrestor cable broke, and he talked about using one of those to cut away the parachute lines while in the drink. He said they'd had problems with them firing unexpectedly, so the riggers started putting a couple of wraps of tape on them to keep the blade closed. That seemed like a good idea until you're in the ocean with wet fingernails and wet tape trying to get ahold of the end of the tape so you can unwrap it...all while worrying about the silk filling with water and dragging you under...
