🔍 Key Concepts

• Bosun's chair safe handling practices • How to control friction and speed when lowering a person • Risks of relying on a single person to hold or pay out the line

💭 Think About

• Which method gives you the most steady, gradual control over the lowering, using friction on a fixed point rather than just grip strength? • Which options increase danger by depending on machinery, a single person’s hand strength, or a moving point instead of a properly belayed line? • Think about how you would lower a heavy load safely — what line arrangement would you trust the most if your own life depended on it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice uses a secure turn around a fixed strong point to create controlled friction when slacking away • Eliminate any option where the sailor personally controls the critical part of the line supporting their own weight • Be cautious of methods that rely mainly on winches or manual grip strength instead of a properly belayed line and controlled slacking
