What action should be taken if only one broken wire is found during the inspection?

When only one broken wire is found during an inspection of a launch cable, it is essential to take immediate action to ensure the safety and functionality of the Skycoaster equipment. Repairing or replacing the launch cable is the appropriate course of action because a broken wire can significantly compromise the structural integrity of the cable itself, potentially leading to failure during operation.

Launch cables are designed to handle specific loads and stresses, and each component plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall safety system. While a single broken wire may not seem critical at first, it indicates that additional wear or damage may be present, potentially leading to further issues if not addressed. By repairing or replacing the launch cable, you mitigate safety risks and maintain the reliability of the Skycoaster for future operations.

Monitoring or simply documenting the issue without taking corrective action can lead to hazardous situations where the equipment could fail during use, thereby putting riders at risk. Therefore, addressing the issue promptly through repair or replacement is the most responsible decision in this scenario.
