ABSTRACT:
A safety system for protecting a ship and adjacent rocket motor rounds stored in the ship from a rocket motor inadvertently igniting includes a shock absorption and retention mechanism that is operative to catch and hold the igniter during inadvertent ignition and thereby prevent the igniter from blocking the rocket motor forward exhaust port which would eliminate the thrust neutral condition of the safety system and allow the rocket motor to break free from the fixture holding it and jeopardize the safety of the ship.
