I wouldn't want to fall either, but I'm pretty confident in the setup, if I fall it's my own dumb fault and I deserved it

seriously though, when in the hammock how far off the ground are you? maybe its just optics and it isn't as far as it seems in the pic. Dont fall though, we need all the hangers we can get.

Im probably about 5' up. It'd hurt if I fell, but it wouldn't kill me.

That is awesome! The next place I move to will definitely have to have hanging options!

Very nice picture. I wouldn't like to fall though!

Personally I would look at hanging a little closer to the floor &/or leave something for cushioning under the hammock... just in case. Things do happen & occasionally someone gets some degree of injury from their hammock dropping them.
We've herd of sore backs & sore or maybe cracked tail bones, etc. It doesn't take that far of a fall to cause injury if you hit just right.
I had a hammock drop me from just about 1 foot onto a hardwood floor & my elbow struck the floor, chipping a bone. That elbow was sore for months
