The chilling finding from this report is this -
You are a spaceman/woman
You will fly this spacecraft
Don't use the full spacesuit on re-entry because it is dangerous.
Sure, four other factors would have killed them. but the fact is that the most basic thing - the spacesuit operational procedure killed them first.
Until that is fixed, none of the other fixes would save a crew.
I note that they are already highlighting the restraint system as a primary fix.
Get real, the spacesuit issue killed them first.
What on earth is wrong with these people?
With their way of thinking?
If five factors killed the crew you address them one by one, not skip the first one (which was fatal).
Yes, I have read the full report. All 400 pages.
Summary -
Killed by not wearing full spoacesuit
Killed by poor harnesses
Killed by breakup too fast to egress
Killed by not having automatic parachutes (which exist)
Killed by collective stupidity and head-in-sand-sticking.
