I recall seeing somewhere (can't recall where) a test of these 're-coil' tether thingies. They provided little or no help when required in anger. They just snapped without slowing the projectile portion significantly.
It seems logical that they would not provide much advantage as they are much weaker than the original protected part which just snapped for some reason, and they would be hit with a huge sudden impact. And the secondary anchor points to which they are attached would probably be somewhat poorer than the main recovery points.
Has anyone actually seem these deployed in a real life situation? Did they work?
