At the end of the splicing procedure it is not normal to milk out the splice?( & for double braids & 16 strand etc zero the rope - that is milking away and towards the splice over several metres to resettle the sheath & core that will have been pulled about during the process. )

Postage is no fun to pay. Worse is import duty - my current wesspur order is in customs clearing as I speak

I run with the calculation of a 2 fid length minimum for a straight bury where a fid length is 21 times the diameter of the cordage. So when you do the math, the bury length on the large splice seems inadequate, backed up with the comparison of the second. I still think a comparable part of the...

If the splice pulled apart I would recon on the small bending ratio & fit when coupled with the DMM block. If only a percentage of the strands are tensioned at a time it would draw the splice apart piece by piece until the remaining had insufficient hold & therefore pulled apart. This scenario...

If the eye or then splice was not laterally loaded, then, I would query the bend radius @ the DMM block & how it sits in there. For maximum strength all the fibres need to be under tension. It was a substantial pull that induced failure, however I , like most of us like to predict rigging...

How was the sling configured? Was there a hard bend radius anywhere along the splice?
