What's the FRONT step in the Giant Swing hookup?

• A. FRONT: One steel supersafe carabiner, which is connected to the belay point, is hooked into the participant's front belay loop
• B. The quick-release is attached to the BIG carabiner
• C. BACK: the participant is hooked into the back loops of the chest and seat harness with the BIG carabiner
• D. Participant will hold onto the ropes

Answer: (A)

In Giant Swing hookups, the front connection is the primary load path for the rider. The load line is attached to the participant's front belay loop using a steel supersafe carabiner, and that carabiner is clipped into the belay point. This arrangement places the connection at the front of the harness, guiding the rope along the rider’s body and keeping the attachment stable as the swing moves. The supersafe carabiner provides strong, secure locking to prevent accidental opening under load, which is crucial for a dynamic ride. The other options describe different components or positions (back attachment, or using a quick-release or holding the ropes) and aren’t the correct setup for the front hookup.
