No Wichards would be the best.
Well, tell us arguments why you think so ...
Reasons why not to use Wichard shackles are laid out earlier in this thread.
Well, Ive read 93 pages - and I claim nowhere are valid arguments at all!
I am into that topic knee deep and that you havent responded with any more details to my previous post - that explains Wichards indepth - proofs to me that you are unlikely to have any valid argument.
If you are able to quote them, try your best instead of claiming thin air.
... but I would be concerned that the hand may be in range of the latch when operating.
Well, I would be more concerned about a metal pin like with BRS that shots open 180° and well beyond that. In the case of a Push BRS, the Pin is on the accelerated line. Only with Pull BRS the Pin stays on the fixed line, and is receiving less acceleration.
The Hooks of the Wichard and BK Shackle can not travel more than ~150°, because they are stopped by their own housing and hinge pretty early.
Also, as soon as the Hook of a Wichard opens 90° the secured ring is free and no further acceleration is transmitted from the ring to the hook.
With the Pin of a BRS, it is accelerating until it opens at 180°, so the impuls to the pin is way longer and therefor higher than of the hook.
Higher Mass also has a momentum and accelerates slower, and the lever arm of the hook is way shorter (maybe 25mm/1") compared to the BRS Pin (40mm to 2") decreasing the momentum even further.
So, Im would be more afraid of a fast, thin Pin hitting my flesh than of the wide, slow and short hook.
Tests could easily proof that theory.
Might be a hassle if releasing while slack if you are trying to eject before the sh1t actually hits the fan.
Show me any solution that stays open after activating/releasing, so it would work with slack.
Nor BRS, nor Infexion Seatbealt Buckle, nor a conventional CL QR offers this feature.
I wouldnt even consider the BK buckle, as this buckle only stays open passivly by Gravity but not by any tension of the buckle itself.
So yeah, Im with you, some Infexion Seatbealt Buckle style that stays open after activating would be great. The Trigger should reset already, but the claws should stay open until a ring is inserted again.
Until that solution is available, I guess we are still limited to the CLs available and the 3-4 Methods now mentioned in my posts.
