both sets of video show that only a small fraction of hooks and loops are entangled, leading to the idea that velcro could be made stronger if designed so there is greater efficiency with entanglement.
Your images and video are very cool. I have made a video of the continuous action, see the video response to your video. Be sure to click on HQ to get the max details.
Thanks for posting this, but I was hoping this would answer the question of what happens to the "loop" side when the Velcro is disengaged: does the loop break? Or does it break free of the hook side due to the hook bending? The last seven seconds of the video show this but it all happens so fast I can't tell.

perhaps the plastic loses its tensile strength and thus weakens the entanglement.
a quick look at old loops should reveal if any are broken. my velcro was new.

as far as i can tell, the loops don't break, the hook and loop stretch until the hook opens and the loop snaps out.

hooks bend and release. But loops do break, why velcro does get 'old' and get less sticky which can be fixed with a new loop pad.
