What factor contributes to the decision to suspend Skycoaster operations?

The decision to suspend Skycoaster operations due to weather conditions is critical for ensuring the safety of riders. Adverse weather, such as high winds, heavy rain, or lightning, can significantly increase the risk associated with the operation of the Skycoaster. For instance, strong winds can affect the stability of the ride and the ability to control the swinging motion safely. Additionally, wet conditions can lead to slippery surfaces and affect the safety of both the staff and participants.

While scheduled maintenance, staff availability, and safety equipment checks are important operational factors, they correspond to regular operational protocols rather than immediate environmental safety concerns. Weather conditions, however, are dynamic and can change rapidly, making them a primary consideration in the decision-making process to suspend operations for the well-being of everyone involved.
