Link L10a140 in a form which makes it evident that it is a Brunnian link. The red loop is obviously not linked with either the blue or yellow loops, and if the red loop were absent, then the blue and yellow loops could also be separated from each other (by tucking the big end of the blue loop into the yellow loop and the big end of the yellow loop into the blue loop).
