But otherwise, it would be the weakest link. For most hammocks, that's probably the webbing or cord...most of the failures I've heard of have been there. The only fabric failures I've heard of were special cases - unhemmed edges, Ed's with 5000+ hours of use, or the cord was so thin it abraded the material and caused a rip, etc.
