Question #524
Can a sling be attached to the tip of a hook (the hook point)?
Czy zawiesie można zaczepić na końcu haka (na rogu haka)?
a
yes, after making sure the sling will not slip off
tak, po upewnieniu się że zawiesie nie wypadnie
b
no, never
nie, nigdy
Correct answer
c
yes, if it does not create a hazard
tak, gdy nie stwarza to niebezpieczeństwa
d
only for hooks fitted with a safety latch
tylko w przypadku haków z zabezpieczeniem w postaci zapadki
Why?
The sling (zawiesie) must sit in the hook bowl, which is designed to carry the load. Loading the tip can deform the hook or cause the sling to slip off. A safety latch (zapadka) does not make tip loading safe.
