If any of you are wondering, getting hit in the face by one of these chairs when you see a nice throwin rock on the ground and forget you have it at 5 metres and you jump off the ramp directly into one that is only about a third of the way into the decel zone really hurts and also bends your polycarbonate glasses frames.
It is a positive-break switch, more commonly known as a brittle bar, that will break either when the rope contacts it or when the pair bar assembly rotates enough to break it. It’s a backup to the RPD/CPS switch (the orange cylinder) seen in the same photo, which will stop the lift when it no longer detects the rope near it.
They run this lift way slower than 1000 fpm for sure. Seems about 700-800
