How much weight are all flight cables capable of supporting?

The maximum load that all flight cables are designed to support is 9800 pounds. This safety margin is established based on rigorous engineering standards and testing, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the cables during operation. The cables must maintain their performance under extreme conditions, including sudden stops or unexpected weight distributions. By being rated for 9800 pounds, they provide a robust safety factor above typical operational limits, which is crucial for the protection of participants during their flight. This high weight capacity reflects the importance of using reliable materials and manufacturing processes in creating the cables, ensuring they perform effectively while prioritizing the safety of riders.
