May be time for a workaround?

I do believe that you need to have a fully-loaded "static" balloon test. Hang the payload with rocket motor, inflate balloon to test. If/when the tether line "breaks", carry on the mission.

I'm shocked the LOHAN team hasn't given any thought to what the BOFH would do.
