Abstract
A pulling arrangement to be disposed between a traction device and an object to be pulled includes a pulling device and a guide element operatively coupled to the pulling device for guiding fragments thereof when the pulling device fails. Fastening devices are disposed on the guide element for fastening the same, independently of the pulling device, to connecting elements of the traction device and of the object to be pulled. The guide element further has a length which is expandable beyond a length of the pulling device when the pulling device fails at any portion thereof.
