Sorry to report a problem with the ENO Hammocks I purchased. First let me say I really like the hammock, but there is a hazard that must be addressed. The ones i have purchased, three, had what I would call defective knots in the end ropes. I discovered this when one of the hammocks fell under my weight. Not hurt, but if it occurs at wrong time, place, person there could be injury. I have attached photos showing the problem. They have used a simple overhand knot to tie the end ropes to which a caribiner is attached. An overhand knot will and did slip, allowing it to completely fail and the hammock to fall. I strongly encourage you to double check this knot on your ENO. I have notified the manufacturer and the cpsc. The simple fix is to just retie the knot using a figure 8 or double fisherman's knot or something else that will tighten down on itself. I hope that ENO will address this hazard.
