Sling angle |

Bomber - The issue is what tension is required along the length of the sling to hold the load applied. For the same load, the tension in the sling will vary depending on how tight the sling is around the bollard (and therefore the angle between the "legs" of the sling at the biner). This is the same whether the sling is doubled over and joined at a biner or knot, or simply looped over the bollard.
The fact that it is one sling is irrelevant save for the fact that it means the tension must be the same all the way along (not allowing for friction on the bollard obviously), and in any event, the same on each side of the biner clipped to it (which is holding the load).
