Had that happen while working on my place, 30 feet off the ground and no safety! You see the carbiner was the safety as I had just unhooked my static line with loops tied in it so I could move down about two feet.

Sure got the heart a pounding.

Been there, done that,

It's actually gas generation via explosion of Sodium Azide. Energetic!

Sodium azide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Our resident pyros will be able to explain it so much better than I can.

“Man’s mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think." John Galt (Ayn Rand)

Patents are not evil, profit is not a dirty word, providing for your family's future is not a sin, and what is mine is not your's just because you want it. Kellory.

When AirBags were first being Invented, they were inflated with Compressed Gas.... But it proved to be to slow, when calculating the Trigger Time Delay and the Valve Opening Delay. The impact would happen before the Bag was fully inflated. So they went to Sodium Azide as a Gas Generating System, which cut the Valve Opening Delay, out completely, and allowed a shortened Trigger Time Delay, due to the Velocity of Detonation of Sodium Azide, initiated by an Electric Squib. Azides are well understood Energetic Materials, and are used as Primary Initiators in many applications. Lead Azide being one of the more common Azides in Commercial Use. It was a common Energetic, in Primes for Ammunition, before the Styphanates became the Energetic of choice, later, as they are more Heat, Temperature and Humidity, stable than the Azide Salt. .....

Yes and no, kell. It uses a combustible that expands rapidly when the wire running through it is heated by electrical current. It expands rapidly. But it is not a compressed gas. Kind of like the igniter on a model rocket motor

Yes @Mike , there are some very smart critters on here. The only airbags I have ever had to deal with WERE compressed gas. They had a canister for it, but they were pretty early versions. (One reason we removed them, we could not trust them.)

Think of it as a training experience , you learned something, and I bet you check your gear better next time. I do high work in fall arrest gear as well.

The thing about Energetic Materials is, you do NOT get more than 1 mistake..... and sometimes that one mistake, ends your career..... When I was an Apprentice Blaster, learning the Trade, my Mentor, was very specific, in teaching ME, that you check, and recheck, and recheck AGAIN, at each step, and have your Mucker go back and check each step, AGAIN... The bigger the charges, the more you check.... Yea, it takes longer to do it that way, but if you do it correctly, you never make a Catastrophic Mistake, that ends your days.... and that is a GOOD THING..... I still have ALL my Fingers and Toes.... and never in 40 years, have I had a Misfire..... .....
