Here is one for you. Is it possible to activate the seat firing mechanism with the pins in IF the seat firing sear directly under the pin is jolted, say catching on an item of clothing? From tin can days (not 10b seat), i remember a check under the seat to make sure a connection was made. If this connection were pulled for whatever reason, would the seat fire?

I dont mean to hijack the thread, i am interested for personal reasons whether other areas of the seat could cause a firing with the pins in is all.
