Many people do not pay enough attention to the safety issues at the lifting site with lifting belts, because in the subconscious of most people, the safety of non-metallic materials is much higher than that of metallic materials. After all, lifting belts are soft and do not seem to pose any threat to us. Therefore, people often do not maintain sufficient safety distance at the lifting site with lifting belts.
There was a popular safety warning video on the internet before. A worker was at the lifting site, close to the entire lifting target. In an instant, the lifting belt used to pull the heavy object broke, and the broken lifting belt slammed onto the worker's helmet. The worker's helmet was instantly lifted off, and the whole person was thrown to the ground and fell into a brief coma.
The accident instantly sparked a lot of discussion, with most of the discussion focused on the power generated when the lifting belt broke. It should be noted that although the lifting belt itself does not have a hard property, the force converted from the instantaneous release of the load at the moment of breakage is not something we can bear. Therefore, even if it is a lifting belt and maintains a safe distance for the target to fall, we must take into account the safety hazards of the lifting belt breaking, so as to maintain a safer distance for ourselves.
