What must the flight carabiners be resting on when correctly oriented?

The flight carabiners must be resting on the thimbles of the flight cables when correctly oriented. This orientation is crucial for maintaining the safety and integrity of the Skycoaster system. Thimbles serve to provide a smooth and stable surface that allows the carabiners to operate without wear or potential failure due to friction. Proper positioning ensures that the load is evenly distributed and that the carabiners can pivot freely, which is essential during the dynamic movements of the flight experience. In contrast, resting on launch cables, safety harnesses, or support beams could create risks of improper functioning or failure, thus compromising the safety of the ride.
