A load disconnection lock having a locking device which is secured against unlocking by means of a safety device as long as the tensile load is not less than a predefined minimum value, and which unlocks automatically when the tensile load is less than the predefined minimum value. A second safety device is provided for the locking device and has a fluid-filled housing in which a piston is guided. The piston has a tensile load applied to it and has a hole as a flow channel for the fluid, such that the fluid can be exchanged between two housing subareas on both sides of the piston.
