I finally got around to viewing the drop test video, and noted the roll axis twist the vehice took on at rebound. It appears that the wire rope bundles deflect sideways a bit when they are compressed, and arranged in a circle like that they induce a torque. Perhaps if you turn them 90 degrees they would simply do a radial scrub, with no torque... I doubt if you can get wire ropes with the opposite handed twist and use two of each to cancel, though.

As for the preheat bang, I wonder if a small orifice solenoid could be used for a tiny trickle flow... but that might exhibit bad channeling and not preheat the entire bed well. I dunno.
