Amplification
CAPS deployment will likely result in damage or loss to the
airframe. Timely deployments, however, are survivable.
Jerking or rapidly pulling the activation T-handle will greatly
increase the pull forces required to activate the rocket. Use a
firm and steady pulling motion – a "chin-up" type pull
enhances successful activation.
