## Discrepancy

(UO2R) THE RAFT, SN 12UL-00371 WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED BECAUSE THE BURST STRAP THAT WAS USED IS NOT APPROVED TYPE.  IT ACTUALLY WAS A BRAIDED STRAP MATERIAL.  THE BURST STRAP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED IS OF CANOPY MATERIAL AND THERE IS A .5 INCH SLIT TO ALLOW IT TO BURST.  THIS IS WHAT CALLED OUT IN THE MM AND NOT THE STRAP THAT WAS ON IT.
