Which safety check relates to the straps on the reformer?

• A. Straps are in good condition.
• B. Straps decorative.
• C. Straps should be stored in a bucket.
• D. Straps can be frayed.

Answer: (A)

Before using the reformer, you need to check that the straps are in good condition. This ensures they will hold up under tension and won’t fail mid‑exercise, which could cause injury. Straps in good condition should be free of fraying, cracks, or loose stitching, and the handles should be intact and secure. Decorative straps offer no safety assessment, storing straps in a bucket doesn’t test their readiness for use, and saying straps can be frayed contradicts safety since damaged straps should be replaced. So inspecting for good condition is the direct, practical safety check for straps.
