If one of the four cables goes taut before the others, it will have the
same effect on the control system as one of the legs striking the
ground, i.e. it will screw up the control system's sense of its
orientation. If you have a single cable attached at the center of the
vehicle, it going taut will have much less of an effect on the balance
of the vehicle.
