An old rigger chewed me out for cutting slings wrong on a high pick last Tuesday

He said my choker hitch angle was gonna snap the cable on a 4 ton load. Switched to a basket hitch and it sat way steadier. Anyone else had a seasoned hand call them out on basic rigging and it make you rethink everything?

@kai_park that load shifting mid lift is the real danger nobody talks about.

Never forget old timers know the load dynamics way better than any chart or formula tbh.
