yes, the discussion has answered the question quite satisfactorily! So, rules of bollards and slings 1. Long sling - ideally 3 times as long as the diameter of the bollard - so narrow V-angle 2. Don't join up short slings with biners to make long slings 3. Don't join ends of a "just long enough" sling with a biner 4. Check back/top of bollard for sharp edges 5. If using for a back-up for set-up/abseil, then equalise - don't allow shock-loading. 6. An extra wrap/loop around the bollard can conveniently shorten the sling and stabilise the placement. Thanks
