Description of Driving Event:
During the STS-90 fight, a hold-down strap used to secure an experiment habitat during in-flight operations broke. While the strap used was identical to those used to secure crew members during sleep periods, the strap was not able to withstand the loads that the crew member could apply from a hunched/pulling position. The strap was never designed to hold the maximum loads that a crew member could apply.
