    Improperly swaged wirerope/ aircraft cables

    Several years ago I took a rigging class that involved making up some small slings and then taking them to a machine to have them broken. Most of the ones made correctly seemed to break around +/- 10% or so of the rated breaking strength, but I was curious what would happen if one wasn't done...
