I have always been told bad rigging must be cut up so as to render it no longer usable before throwing away
TM 5-725 Army Techincal Manual Rigging, 1968
Stage Rigging Handbook, 2nd Ed. 1997 Jay O. Glerum
Wire Rope Users Manual 3rd Ed. 1993 Wire Rope Technical Board
Handbook for Riggers W.G. Newberry 1989
The Crosby Group Product Application Seminar Workbook, The Crosby Group ED. 7.
In short re-reading so far, I could find info on cable cutting a bad section for re-use but nothing so far specific to disposal of bad rigging so as to require destruction. Will do more reading but anyone know where this concept of taking extra time to destroy it came from?
