Should flyers drop their footbars before their carabiners have been attached to the suspension rings?

The correct answer is that flyers should not drop their footbars before their carabiners have been attached to the suspension rings. This is essential for safety protocols that prevent potential accidents or injuries. The footbars serve a crucial purpose by providing stability and support to the flyers during the harnessing process. Until the carabiners are securely connected to the suspension rings, the flyers are at risk if they release the footbars. Ensuring that all safety attachments are properly secured before any part of the harness is released maintains the integrity of the safety system and protects the individuals involved. This practice is a vital aspect of Skycoaster operations to ensure participant safety during the experience.
