    Young man killed in hammock

    Just read this in the morning paper. 23 yr old was camping and pitched his hammock under an overhang. Sometime during the night a rock fell and hit him in the head. That's all that was in the article. Please be careful where you hang.
    This was around Nicholasville, Kentucky.

    That is a shame. There is more than one type of widow-maker out there.
