    Do as Paul suggested.

    But I dont think any slipping is happening with the slings. I think you may be experiencing stretch in other parts of your system.

    Post up a pic of how you have it attached.....

    I've never had a slip in the whoopie. I have had the webbing toggle (marlinspike hitch) slip, due to not cinching it down tight prior to hanging the whoopie. Never dropped me.

    I could see the marlinspike being fussy if your using thick webbing.

    Dynaglide is either 1.8mm or 2mm, depending on who you talk to.

    Amsteel Blue in 7/64 is 2.5mm.

    Just a small clarification... So as not to confuse an otherwise easily confusable situation.

    EDIT: and if your hanging off the DG at 340.... Youre cajones are bigger than mine!!!

    I'd say it's straps stretching. My 2 cents.
