Re: Out stretching surgical tubing.

When 27 ran our surgical tubing catapult in '08 we made "cartridges" using carabiners (rated for climbing and with a proper safety factor) that would provide 50 pounds of force when stretched the desired amount, and would test them after events to determine if they needed replacing or not.

I don't recall for sure, but I believe after every event we just replaced the tubing.
