High-speed footage from a test meant to determine the breaking point of the nylon parachutes used for the SQUID rocket experiment. An up-side down parachute loaded with 19kg of extra weight was dropped from 1.5 m, to be braked to a standstill using a line of paracord. However, the paracord itself broke.

However, the paracord itself broke, and we are currently looking into changing this for something stronger in the actual landing system. Filmed with a Casio EX-FH25.
