I disagree with you as the streamliner was on fire on at least two runs and
the system worked like it was designed to. The rider didn't know there was a
fire until the auto release system deployed the chute and turned off all
electrics and I beleave the fire system fired into the engine compartment.
It did it's job, however Sam can over ride it and deploy the chute manually.
