I very rarely lol, for real, but that did it. Now, bring on those roof racks, fence posts, and deck railings.

What do you guys think of that roof? Aside from it being half-azzed, I mean. Is that stuff tile? Can't be.

I feel sorry for the guy in the chair.
What'd he have, about a 10% angle of dangle?
GREAT reminder of the forces that hammock suspensions can put on whatever they're attached to, and themselves.

yep, tile. Nailed to a log frame work.
hope the guy in the chair is okay??
Just goes to show how much a flat rope or hammock multiplies the load force. I wonder how it would have worked out with a 30 deg hang angle. ;-)
Really pretty dumb anyway. It looked like basic stacked blocks with no reinforcement. Fine under compression but not so good in any other direction. Maybe we should keep it around as an example of hanging off the wrong kind of material.
YMMV

Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
