rigging question

i crewed on a farr 39 lastweekend and the boat had this flimsy backstay. it had a flexible rod at the top which i think takes up the slack when you dont have the backstay on. it had runners and the skipper talked about the mast falling down if the runners were used incorrectly. would somebody please give me a little more detail on this setup?
