Is it permissible to use 3 Crosby wire rope clips instead of zinc plated copper sleeves when refinishing the end of the launch cable?

Using Crosby wire rope clips instead of zinc plated copper sleeves when refinishing the end of the launch cable is not permissible due to the specific standards and safety regulations that govern the use of cables and attachments in the Skycoaster and other similar attractions. Zinc plated copper sleeves are designed to properly secure the cable ends, ensuring maximum strength and reducing the risk of failure.

Crosby wire rope clips, while useful in certain applications, do not provide the same level of reliability for the intended purpose in this specific scenario. The use of the correct materials is critical for safety, and substituting with items that are not specified can lead to dangerous malfunctions or accidents. Therefore, adhering to established guidelines by using the appropriate zinc plated copper sleeves ensures that all safety measures are met and helps maintain operational integrity.
