What should a flyer do if they are unable to hold onto the landing loop?

The best course of action for a flyer who is unable to hold onto the landing loop is to coast to a stop without trying to grab it. This approach takes into account safety and the design of the Skycoaster system. The landing pole is there to assist with a safe landing, but if a flyer cannot hold on, continuing to coast down helps to avoid unnecessary risk associated with attempting to reach for the landing pole in an unstable or awkward position.

Coasting allows the flyer to safely descend without the potential for causing injury by twisting or falling while trying to grab the landing mechanism. The Skycoaster is designed to function safely under various circumstances, and coasting to a stop allows the system to do its job without additional complications.

Other options, such as signaling for help or requesting to be lowered, could introduce delays and may not be feasible in a moment of urgency. Attempting to grab the landing pole when one is unable to do so could result in accidents or injuries. Therefore, coasting serves as the safest and most effective response in this scenario.
