    Dynaglide Whoopies

    Anyone interested in some? These will only be for folks 250# or less.

    I dont have alot, but its all orange. Maybe enough for 10 sets of 6' slings.

    Price will be the same as the Amsteel. $17.55 shipped.

    I put these on one of my DIY jobbers. I doubled wrapped the larks head. Held up my 270#. Now granted, my basement hammock is hung at more than 30 degrees... So I bounced in it pretty good... Till the ceiling started creaking and it sounded like my joist support were going to break.

    The last shot is of the adjustable bury exit after I loaded the sling up.

    In case anyone missed it, I did do a destruct on the Dynaglide whoopie and through my figures it failed at around 900 pounds.

    Oh yeah.. and weight on a pair is 18 grams, or .6 ounces.

    I thought for sure someone would want a set of these ultralight bad boys.

    If for nothing else, bragging rights.

    How about I drop the price to $16 shipped.

    Always one step ahead...

    Dude, that is just wicked crazy!

    I just never could find the math acceptable in my head (I tend to like lower angle sets). Strangely, I have been hesitant to touch the last of my stock, perhaps silently waiting to gain the "fortitude" to try a set of DG whoopies on my Hyperlite. Whoopies are about the only thing I haven't tooled up with my DG.

    If we can tool up some sort of "safety catch" as a secondary in case the line at the exit point fails, I think we could call this a new knotless lightweight best.

    Trail, the DG whoopie I tested gave out at 930 pounds.

    I forget what the formula is... But wouldnt a 200 pound person need to be hanging around 5-10 degrees in order to approach the limit?

    And whos hammock is hanging at less than 20 when its loaded?

    Anyway.. Thats why I put a weight limit on it.
