Abstract
A sling for fixing or carrying load includes a tubular tissue or a tube-like tissue or fabric having two ends, one of the ends being narrower than or approximately as large as, and the other end being larger than or approximately as large as, the remaining tubular tissue located between the two ends. The two ends form a junction point by inserting the narrower end into the larger end and providing the narrower end with at least one seam in the area of the junction point, whereby the junction point is thinner, shorter, or narrower at a predefined strength than in conventional overlapping ends. The sling may be used in skiing, mountain climbing, and in the area of work safety.
