How should the flight carabiners be oriented?

The correct orientation for flight carabiners is with the wider side facing down. This positioning ensures that the load is distributed properly and minimizes the risk of the carabiners accidentally unhooking during the flight. When the wider side is facing down, it enhances the strength of the carabiner's closure, providing better security and stability under weight. This understanding is crucial for any safety protocols in place, as proper orientation directly contributes to the overall safety of the ride experience.

In contrast, orientations that place the wider side facing up or utilize the thinner side in any direction could lead to potential risks. A wider side facing up may not secure the load effectively, while thinner sides facing any direction are generally not designed to bear significant weight or impact, which is essential during operation. Ensuring the carabiners are oriented correctly is a fundamental aspect of safety training and operational protocols in the use of Skycoaster systems.
