The patent application relates to a break-away retention device for restraining a missile against launching thrust until a predetermined thrust level has been attained. It employs a preweakened tensile link within a compression barrel. The barrel supplies flexural rigidity and physical protection to the preloaded portion of the tensile link. Tensile preload is adjustable to any predetermined level less than the ultimate strength of the tensile link.
