The covenant did adapt forerunner technology for their own purposes, and if i remember right the flood was an absolute secret so i don't think they ever knew. The forerunners should've had a *You release this -blam!- and your gonna die man* sign right before they press the open button. Or maybe it was the order of some ignorant higher up and they all would've been kill for heresy for not opening it up.
You know, all this religious fanaticism of the elites and the prophets can really get in the way, you know? I mean, the Covenant theology was already a lie (see the substory about the rise of the new hierarchs in Contact Harvest), but making a Covie squad release the Flood is a whole new level of stupidity. But yeah, you're right, their should have been a "Caution: Extremely Tenacious and Infectious Parasite" sign, you know? Like, "Release at your own risk. Halo, Inc. does not assume liability for injuries or damages caused by the Flood. Have a fantastic day."
