We discuss plausible mechanisms to produce bullet-like ejecta from theprecessing disk in the SS 433 system. We show that non-steady shocks in thesub-Keplerian accretion flow can provide the basic timescale of the ejectioninterval while the magnetic rubber-band effect of the toroidal flux tubes inthis disk can yield flaring events.Comment: To appear in ApJ Letters (September 1st, 2002 issue
