I believe Reef Rite produce(d) a reefing system with standard rope on drum and a locking pin operated by a long wire back to cockpit. Plenty of these in NZ.
The initial problem appears to be people based rather than the equipment though?
The Reef Rite appears to have the solution to the 'fail safe' question.
Initial problem definitely people based but the above removes the human element and improves vastly the safety factor.
