I can understand the reasoning behind what you say. I wonder could there not be some kind of compermise?. Take the simplistic rig and use another simple idea. Put it in a faux case( I kinda picture a simulated claymore body, due to the curvature of the face which would allow his mouse trap hammer to swing. I would think that this idea would eliminate the pinch hazard and also the possability of flying debris. I am pretty sure that it would eliminate the " smoke" effect he describes but with the right design could possiably ampilfy the sound slighty. I would also reccomend using thread as a trip wire insted of fishing line. I would hate for someone to trip over it at a run and hurt themselves. The thread is biodegradable and costs a lot less, I would think it would be more than strong enough to trip the mouse trap. also maybe a arming pin so you can have it preloaded and once it's set pull pin to make it hot after it's set not during lol
sry if I am way off base but I think that my idea would satify everyone. But plz tell me if there are any faults in the concept. I would be really interested in what eveyone thinks
