Just a bit of a heads up, even though I'm not completely certain what happened.
I hit the ground without breaking anything on me or the hammock setup. Didn't roll out or flip over either.
I use amsteel whoopie slings with a toggle in a marlin spike hitch. It appears that the toggle twisted and slipped through the loop on the sling. Maybe because of the angle of the tree? It was leaning out over the water. It's the only way I can see it happening, but that's never happened to me before.
Just wanted to mention this and see if anyone else has ever had that happen. It happened within 30 seconds of getting in, I just picked it up and re-attached then napped for about an hour with no problems.
