🔍 Key Concepts

• Bosun's chair safety when hoisting a person aloft • Correct use of a gantline (the line used to hoist the chair) with hardware like shackles • How to avoid single‑point failure if a shackle or knot loosens

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if the shackle pin starts to back out or the shackle opens—what arrangement of line and hardware keeps the person safest? • Which option ensures that, even if metal hardware fails or moves on the stay, the chair is still directly and securely attached to the gantline? • Consider where friction and movement will occur on the stay—how should the shackle and line be arranged to reduce wear and dangerous shifting?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which method avoids relying solely on metal‑to‑metal contact (shackle/stay) as the only securement point? • Which option keeps the gantline directly fast to the chair, not just indirectly through a shackle? • Which choice prevents a situation where loosening of the shackle pin could drop the chair entirely?
