Question 1695Deck General70% to pass
To properly rig the downhaul to your stage for lowering, you must _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Take 2 or 3 round turns around the stage and then belay the downhaul around the horns.
This is the correct method for properly rigging the downhaul to the stage for lowering. The key is to take a few round turns around the stage, which provides a secure way to lower the stage in a controlled manner. Then, the downhaul is belayed around the horns, which allows the stage to be lowered and held in place as needed.
The other options are incorrect because they do not properly secure the downhaul to the stage. Option A involves a clove hitch, which is not the recommended method. Option B of using figure eights around the horns alone does not provide enough control over lowering the stage. Option C of passing the downhaul through a bridle is not the standard procedure for this task.
