That may be, but if the hammock is strung tight and a person flops down into it applying a dynamic load, you might be surprised at the forces that can be generated. Use your cursor to move the weight up and down in this illustration of forces.

With that said, I think the most likely scenario is that the strap held the gate open (as previously theorized).

Well, that means that I am about to break something and those of us experimenting with SLSs are living dangerously ...

Which may be the case!

it's the angle of things after it's weighted. even if you pull things horizontal it won't stay that way with weight on it, it would be hard to rig a suspension at less than 25 deg when weighted, you might get close to 25deg but would have a tough time getting near 20 i think.

sls suspension shouldn;'t be any different than a reg suspension plus ridgeline

angles below 30deg do put more than bodyweight on each end though, just hard to create a super low angle
