Seano Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Theres definitely a degree ow schwing from the chain being linked to the back. That there is. For that reason I'd say its a much milder test than what's described in the standard Brian quotes above (even before repeating it a further 29 times).

ramdram Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well the clue was in the "not very scientific", ** laughs out loud **. Suffice to say even an old partially rusty wire bond worked several times on a bit of angled steel support, simply because it was easier than to cast about for a way of cobbling up a bit of scaff bar. It has only got to work the once then it's binned or turned into a keyring. That said the bonds/chains do look tired anyway so we now have the perfect excuse to order some replacements.

Agreed, but the point is that swing reduces the impact loading, and thus is kinder all round. So I agree it doesn't replicate the drop test, but it is highly realistic for lanterns where the attachment point is on the lantern, rather than a loop round the yoke.
