Carriers for injuries
Slings is the plural of sling, which names several devices for throwing, supporting, or carrying.
A sling is a primitive weapon—a strap or pouch whirled to hurl stones: David slew Goliath with a sling.
A sling also supports an injured arm, suspends cargo for hoisting, or carries a baby against the body.
To sling is to throw casually or hang loosely: She slung her bag over her shoulder.
To sling hash is to work as a short-order cook.
Slings and arrows evokes misfortune, from Shakespeare's famous soliloquy.
