Yates Screamers are shock absorbing slings designed to reduce peak loads in climbing systems.  Helps to reduce shock loading.  Screamers were designed to be used on less than ideal climbing protection like small nuts, old bolts, snow anchors, or marginal protection.  Popular for ice climbing. These are actually longer slings that are sewn into an accordion-like shape.  When the screamer is activated the stitches rip apart as the sling extends and absorbs energy from a fall.  They increase the time interval of a fall, which also allows the climbing rope to absorb more energy.  Screamers can also be linked in series to double or triple the total amount of energy absorption, or "ganged" in parallel to increase the activation force and absorption.

Joshua ★★★★★

Picked these up for a sketchy alpine route where the pro was questionable at best. Knowing the sling stretches to soak up peak load instead of dumping it all on my anchor lets me actually commit to moves. Rapped off feeling way better about the whole setup.

Charlotte E. ★★★★★

The shock absorption on these slings gives me real peace of mind on marginal placements. Placed a couple on an ice route and the reduced peak load was noticeable right away.

Michael ★★★★★

Used this on a sketchy anchor where the only gear was a marginal nut, and it did exactly what I wanted — stretched out and softened the catch instead of slamming the piece. The webbing held up fine after a couple of falls, no fraying at the bar tacks.
