If you are using humans to mass-test for a failure rate of 1⁄10,000 you are doing something wrong. Ship ten thousand units, let the end-user test them at the time of use/installation/storage, and ship replacement parts to the user who got a defective part. That way no one human gets bored with testing that part (though they might get bored with inspecting good parts in general)
Don’t you demand that your parachute packer inspects it when he packs it? Especially given that more than zero parachutes will be damaged after manufacture but before first use.
That looks like an ideal case for automation...
And then you miss the one in ten thousand that was no good.

Sounds great if failure is acceptable. I don’t want my parachute manufacturer taking on that method, though.
