I've had a couple of near-misses testing out the underquilt without the tie-outs tied on my Hennessy. Five or six times now, I've sat down far enough back to be on the seam between the netting and the hammock body. You'd think I'd've learned after the first one that this is a bad idea, but noooooooo...
I blame a youth spent throwing myself off of high places with wheels strapped to my feet for keeping me from dumping completely. I sure am glad that I've got reasonable reflexes when it comes to falling.
Nowadays, I make sure to find the seam for the netting with one hand and then find the opposite edge of the hammock with the other before sitting down. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me seven times...
