The design is that it will always open.
If you check your blades and make sure there snapped into the

What can go wrong with a Rage that can't go wrong with a fixed?
It can not open.
It can open prematurely causing erratic flight since most setups arent tuned well enough, or lack the FOC to keep an arrow straight after blades are out and moving, unless spine is dead on and they are tuned for fixed blades(usually not the case with most mechanical users)
It can not open at all.
Only one blade opens
Holding screws can break which will cause the blade to come off completely as there is a lot of force on them comparitvely on them than their is on fixed blades.
Rages are aluminum so comparing them strength wise to a steel fixed head like a slick trick is ludicrous... Ive seen quite a few rage ferrules snapped.
Anyways, we know your tied to rage b/c of the previous years of rage posts so this is really beating a dead horse...
