The invention is based on a wire netting (10a； 10b； 10c), in particular a safety net, with a plurality of helices (12a, 14a； 12b； 12c) which are braided with one another and at least one of which is manufactured of at least one single wire, a wire bundle, a wire strand, a wire rope and/or another longitudinal element (16a； 16b； 16c) with at least one wire (18a； 18b； 18c) and which comprises at least one first leg (20a； 20b； 20c), at least one second leg (22a； 22b； 22c) and at least one bending region (24a； 24b； 24c) connecting the first leg (20a； 20b； 20c) and the second leg (22a； 22b； 22c) to one another, wherein, in a front view perpendicularly to a main extension plane of the helix (12a； 12b； 12c), the first leg (20a； 20b； 20c) extends with at least one first gradient angle (26a； 26b； 26c) with respect to a longitudinal direction (28a； 28b； 28c) of the helix (12a； 12b； 12c). It is proposed that, in a transverse view in parallel to the main extension plane of the helix (12a； 12b； 12c) and perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction (28a； 28b； 28c) of the helix (12a； 12b； 12c), the bending region (24a； 24b； 24c) extends at least section-wise with a second gradient angle (30a； 30b； 30c) with respect to the longitudinal direction (28a； 28b； 28c) of the helix (12a； 12b； 12c), wherein the second gradient angle (30a； 30b； 30c) differs from the first gradient angle (26a； 26b； 26c).
