In the Giant Swing hookup, which statement about the accessory cord is correct?

• A. The accessory cord is wrapped around the harness.
• B. The accessory cord isn't caught up in the other ropes.
• C. The accessory cord is attached to the quick-release.
• D. The accessory cord is fixed to the anchor.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is keeping the accessory cord free of other ropes so it can move and be inspected without snagging. In the Giant Swing hookup, the cord should not be tangled with or wrapped around the harness, fixed to the anchor, or attached directly to the quick-release in a way that could interfere with operation. If the accessory cord gets caught up in other lines, it can cause jams, complicate the release, or impede safe retrieval. Therefore, the correct practice is that the accessory cord isn’t caught up in the other ropes.
