People have waited through so many failed attempts to record the drop that nobody wants to mention that they didn't 'really' record an unassisted drop. The bead is still connected when it hits bottom, and the tail doesn't break until they raised up the suspended platform.

Check the video and notice that the suspended vessel jumps about 2 inches higher just after the drop.

It's a good recording, but I'm looking forward to a better one in 2026.
