What is required to ensure safety before launching a flight?

Conducting a daily inspection of equipment is crucial for ensuring safety before launching a flight on a Skycoaster. This inspection involves thoroughly checking all components of the ride, including harnesses, cables, winches, and any safety mechanisms in place. The daily checks ensure that any potential issues are identified and addressed before passengers use the equipment, thus preventing accidents or malfunctions during operation.

While practice runs, reviewing flight cards, and obtaining permission from passengers are important safety measures, they do not directly contribute to the overall operational integrity and safety of the equipment itself. A comprehensive inspection is foundational in maintaining a secure environment for both passengers and operators. Therefore, prioritizing daily equipment inspections is essential in the overall safety protocol of the Skycoaster system.
