A system and method is provided for directing a separation sequence of structural components, such as, for example, aircraft landing gear components, during an overload condition. This system and method may be used to stop a component in rotation and thereby allow the component to fail in a predictable and controllable manner. This system and method may be used on any type of device that utilizes components that rotate relative to one another and/or that has components that rotate during an overload condition.
