Sorry, not buying that argument.Yoke have two bolts holding the body. My understanding is that that built in redundancy relieves us of body safeties.
When I worked for (major flying company) and was trained to make compressions, I was told "If there's enough tail sticking out that you bleed when you press your thumb down on it and twist, that's too much." And I was literally made to do this. I got really good, really fast.I'm sure @What Rigger? @egilson1 @Ted jones et al will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe best practice when swaging is to leave a minimum length of wire rope, equal to the cable's diameter, sticking out of the swage upon completion of crimping. Another good reason for not making one's own cables.
Can you link that since the Nico instructions I linked above don't say that? Thanks.The NicoPress guide says the tail should protrude by 2x the wire rope diameter. I agree that heat shrink would be preferable to gaff tape or vinyl tape to prevent handling injuries.

There is an electrical tape - 3m 88 maybe - thick and really sticky and stretchy - that works ok. And some have coated with epoxy - pretty easy and efficient with the syringe systems.
I have seen ona gig where a motor chain fall out of a bag while it was being raised .
The motor was hung invert 100ft up with gac in a basket configuration. When the chain was being raised approximately 80ft up in the air the chain fell out of the bag. ( wrong size chainbag ).
What is the shockload?
Of course now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it. In the mean time I'll defer to the PDF that was posted.IIRC I have the printed document at the office, I'll look for it tomorrow.
As was I. Is there any issue with this way?Just to show how training can vary;
I was taught 2 sleeves, the 2nd to contain the stabby ends.
