Broken sling

[stehansen]

I'm wondering if they tied it onto a place that had a corner that dug into the sling.

I broke some wire pulling against a corner once, easy peasy, and way under the rated pull.

O Crap!

... not sure about the failure, but I have been thinking about the overload ... have done a bit of vehicle recovory with mine ... if inertia is not broken on dead or stuck loads it's easy to do ... once I pulled my Dodge full of heavy wood with the Chipper hitched uphill out the mud with my Tirfor

I know very little about double braid because other than 4 eye slices I made on some 3/4" Plymouth I haven't been around it much .The splices were made by simpley following the directions and lock stitched .Had I not had the directions in front of me I doubt they'd have came out so good nor do I think I could ever do it again unless I had the proceedure .

They worked well enough to pull in over 40,000 feet of armored cable a few years back .However and having said that I have not the confidence to ever attempting to splice any type braided line that could be used in a life support system .
