3. Never hang higher than you are willing to fall (or over anything you would fear to land on (or in)). I am on the tallish side, and a higher hang is easier for me to get in and out of, but my second 2 ½ foot drop onto hardpan had me seeing stars and struggling for breath—Now I swing low… that’s how I roll.
