g. rope bag should be where the rescue device is (passive setup) as the preferred method of ensuring controlled deployment of the rope, compared to how rope deployment could also be done, including:
g.i other passive setup methods and rope deployment procedures
g.ii connected advantages and disadvantages (hazards & risks) of various passive setup methods and rope deployment procedures e.g., 1) rope deployed out of the turbine; not able to identify kinks/knots of the entire length of rope, entanglement with other ropes, the tower or the blades of an idling spinner, or 2) the rope bag being where the rescue device is; if no one can assist in the unlikely event of kinks/knots when the rope is being deployed out of the rope bag g.iii why and how the last evacuee in a passive setup should reconfigure the setup to an active setup to ensure a controlled evacuation, provided the continued use of the device is within manufacturer's equipment limitations
