What should be the first step if broken wires are detected during the inspection?

The first step when broken wires are detected during an inspection is to stop operations and assess the damage. This action prioritizes safety for both the operators and the customers. Operating the Skycoaster with known broken wires poses significant risks, as the integrity of the ride's safety systems could be compromised. By halting operations immediately, the site controller can thoroughly evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the necessary repairs, ensuring that the ride can operate safely in the future.

Taking this precaution helps prevent accidents and ensures compliance with safety regulations, protecting the well-being of all individuals involved. Once the damage is assessed and any necessary repairs are made, only then can operations resume safely.
