I have far more problems getting the bottom slit to open intentionally than I do with it opening accidentally. Not that it couldn't happen, and not that there aren't other positives associated with side entry, but fear of falling out the bottom shouldn't be a huge concern.

Mine was bottom entry originally, but I had a zipper put in. I could have, for a small additional charge, had the bottom sewn shut, but I did not. Certainly I would have if I thought slipping out was a concern, but as it is, my hammock now has the best of both worlds.
