What items are referred to as "first things, last things off" in the attachment area?

The term "first things, last things off" in the context of the attachment area refers to flight carabiners. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and proper sequence of operations during the Skycoaster setup and operation.

Flight carabiners are the last items attached to the rider and the first items removed upon completion of the flight. This sequence is vital because ensuring that the flight carabiners are secured properly before the flight begins is essential to maintain the integrity of the system and the safety of the rider. Removing these carabiners last allows for a smooth and safe transition from flight back to the ground, minimizing the risk of accidents.

While safety harnesses, ropes, and helmets are all important components of the Skycoaster operation, they do not correspond to the "first things, last things off" terminology in the same way that flight carabiners do. The harness is typically secured early in the process, ropes are part of the rigging, and helmets are generally put on and taken off alongside the harness rather than having the same operational priority as the carabiners. Thus, flight carabiners are uniquely identified by this descriptor due to their critical role in the attachment sequence.
