I thought heard something in passing on the radio this morning, that CDot got 5 chutes to go sympathetically. Anyone hear anything about that?

Beats me... wouldn't suprise anyone or be unusual.
Since we are in the slide zone, let's talk about what "sympathetic release" really is!
A sympathetic release is a long distance propagation of a fracture where the weak zone failure continues into areas where the failure does not cause an avalanche, and then back into areas where it does.

A Sympathetic is

B. When a shot detonates in a path and an unconnected adjacent path releases along with the tested path or independently of that path.
My 2 cents
So,is it a sympathetic release if a avy goes down a V valley and upon impact releases other (wet/wetslab) avies on the other side? Does that count or do you have a fancy name for that?Quote:
