A connecting means and method are disclosed for enabling automatic release of load hanging from a carrying means, connected by connecting means, when sudden decrease of the force exerted by the load on the connecting means is experienced. The connecting means comprise two main connecting assemblies adapted to connect to each other by means of matching sets of jags. One set of jags is provided on a set of levers adapted to get apart and release the connecting latch when, due to a sudden decrease of the force exerted by the load, the first connecting assembly gets closed to the second connecting assembly. According to embodiments of the invention the connecting means may comprise safety mechanism ensuring the stage of automatic release will be activated only after the load is securely carried by the carrying means.
