However,

Back in '12 during NARAM the Brighton doinked due to either drag separation or short delay.

The elastic snapped at the shock cord mount and both parts fluttered back to Earth on their sides. No damage other than a shredded 'chute!

John Dyer of Red River Rocketry taught me a neat trick - the LOC Precision shock cord mount.
It's soo simple and works! 1 loop of heavy kevlar taped inside the body and then the tape/knot
is painted over with epoxy. Replace elastic as needed.
