Foolproof ELT/PLB activation

I think I may have just invented an effective way to activate any of
these new ELT/PLB devices.



I am calling it the "RSPT sensor". It stands for Rectal Sphinctoid
Pressure/Temperature sensor.



It will consist of a calibrated load cell to be inserted into the rectum
before flight. Clearly, just prior to any significant catastrophic
event there will be extraordinary involuntary constriction of the rectal
sphincter muscles which will cause the load cell to activate. Another
failsafe would be that if you have to bail out, the sensor will be
pulled from the rectum. The temperature sensor would immediately cool
down, showing that the unit had been pulled from the rectum and
therefore triggering the ELT.



So, this sensor would not require a heavy G impact in a particular
direction to activate. It would be sensitive to _any_ life threatening
situations. Perhaps we should add a reset switch for those accidental
"high squeeze" triggering events, like trying to thermal near the top of
one of those 40 glider gaggles at Uvalde.



Clearly, this idea is preliminary, but I think we may have a solution to
the ELT triggering problem.



Respectively submitted,
