[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Can you determine what exactly is wrong with this rigging photo? The answer below: **The chain sling shown is configured as a single choke, with a master link at each end. The master link near the load is being used improperly.** **Master links are for in-line loading only, but since it is in contact with the load it may be subject to bending forces.** ![Chain Sling - Answer](https://news.kitocrosby.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Chain%20Sling%20-%20Answer.jpg?width=585&name=Chain%20Sling%20-%20Answer.jpg)   [![Follow Crosby On LinkedIn](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/383226/edd3fd1a-7b73-40a4-8b4b-83a9720cf3c2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/383226/edd3fd1a-7b73-40a4-8b4b-83a9720cf3c2) ### Recent Posts ### View Crosby News by Topic:  [Newsletters](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/newsletter) [SubSea Market](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/subsea) [Products](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/products)  [People](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/people) [Danny's Rigging Den](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/dannys-rigging-den)  [Other News ](http://news.thecrosbygroup.com/news/topic/other)   © Kito Crosby.
