What must the snaphook of the ripcord be clipped to at all times?

The snaphook of the ripcord must be clipped to the connector ring at all times to ensure the safety and integrity of the ride. The connector ring serves as a secure attachment point that maintains the ripcord's connection throughout the operation of the Skycoaster. This is crucial because if the snaphook were to become detached during a rider's launch or flight, it could compromise the system's ability to function as intended, leading to potential safety hazards for the participants. By keeping this connection intact, operators can guarantee that the mechanism operates smoothly and effectively, ensuring a safe experience for all riders.
