Hanging in my living room

[JCINMA]

I am somewhat monkey like, lots of tree climbing and rock climbing over the years. The bottom of the hammock is at about 5'5". I jump up and grab the rafters and then swing my butt into the hammock

Sounds like a fun way to hang.

News flash - If your head falls the distance of your height and strikes something in the right location and with sufficient force you will be dead.

For me that would be one inch over 6 feet. Distant neighbor proved this one evening.

I'm not saying the height is or isn't dangerous but I just wanted to clear that up. Many people think you have to get on a ladder to gain sufficient height. Life is fragile.

Bones heal,
scars are cool,
and glory is forever!

Cool hang and as long as you know the risks and trust your gear, just enjoy the view.

As a rock climber, I regularly take ground falls from as high as 18 feet. I usually have padding underneath me, but sometimes I miss it.

I'd love to have a setup where I could try this - looks like a great place to hang!
