The carabiner is rated for 5kg, or 5kN. I finally figured out what kg are, but why are they using kiloNewtons? Kilograms weren't good enough even for them? Is this a new metric-metric system?

When you already have kilograms (undoubtedly superior, since the Fr*nch thought it up), why switch to kiloNewtons?
