Hanging up high

[Sailor]

I'm guessing that any hammock suspended higher than you want to fall should require its occupant to be top roped. That having been done, remember that climbers and arborists don't use the lightest weight lines for support, so that the top rope most likely won't be needed. Finally, both those good folk are wide awake when they fall and are counting the micro (they hope) seconds until said rope goes to work. I would not like to consider a hammock failure while asleep and the subsequent fall and swing to belay. Recommend sleeping with little slack, near vertical fall of rope and wear a helmet. Tree bark can be rough...
