The point of the shallow parabola hanging Kevlar is so hooks would tend to slide to center (where it belongs) on loading their weight. A simple release scheme using gravity drop some slack cable work. One end could remain attached to whatever device would be pulling partners up off the floor, so a double acting air cylinder could easily lower the cable(s) and them pull back up when hook(s are engaged.
