I really don't like how that carabineer is open on one side, when a proper locking carabineer would work just as well.

A locking carabineer can be unlocked. That carabineer cant be removed from the wire unless it's at one end or the other. Even if you wanted to remove it mid way you couldn't

The bridge didn't turn. The bote turned.

As to why the bote turned, there are river currents that are effecting it. On top of that, rudders don't return to their neutral position when they lose power.

Unless something goes wrong and all of the sudden that carabineer takes a shock load. A C shape is a lot less strong than an O shape.

You can compensate for a weaker shape by using a stronger and thicker material, which is exactly what is done here.

This sort of scheme is used by tourist attractions where you can't trust the punters to act safely on their own, the hardware needs to be designed so that they can only do the safe thing.

Design it for the worst case of “this shock load would rip a particularly robust human torso fully in half”.
