Edit: I was expecting it to stop twisting and begin turning the other way, like string that I've played with, but it just ... never did. I can't imagine the tension that would put into the cable.
- thaumaturgy 9y agoYeah, I don't enjoy roller coasters, that would not have been my favorite SAR experience. Assuming they connected it in the usual way, it would have been twisting, but not so much tangling. It might tangle once everything was on the ground and the tension was off the line. I don't know what the hoist line material is; I'd guess a kernmantle of some kind but I'm probably wrong.
