Regarding the missing pin in Boeing's test last month, I find it quite strange that a physical verification "touch test" wasn't performed by default if it was/is possible. This is obviously based on extremely limited information, but given that the pin seems to be possible to check physically, and wasn't checked, I don't think I'm speculating too much, as it constrains the issue greatly. In as mundane activities as rock climbing, adventure courses, and while working at height it's basically a mantra to physically check anything that you can check physically, regardless of if it's been checked in some other way previously. At least in my circles. Not that physical verification is a panacea, but doesn't it seem borderline arrogant to not include it wherever possible when it comes to something like a parachute system? I am assuming that the cause for omitting a physical check is that it was decided previous checks - whatever they were - would've been enough. If failing to check a pin in a parachute system was an actual oversight, I can only assume the project is under very intense pressured to deliver on schedule rather than quality. Not a great look for Boeing if that's the case.
