Really, but why?

[Pappy]

I have enough trouble sleeping in my own bed. And, the 2-3 bathroom runs nightly just wouldn’t work out for me. Oh well, to each his own.

My palms are sweating, just looking at that pic.

 

[Rosemarie]

Perhaps they are all frustrated sailors.

 

[jujube]

Nope

Yeah, those below would think it was some sorta acid rain

I'm surprised, TreeGuy, you're often aloft! Not that high, I guess.

I'm tied in with a rope that's through a tree crotch ten to thirty feet above me. Anything happens, I'm swinging out, safe and sound. If these hammocks give way, or twist, dumping out their occupants, these people are going for a longggggggg drop, with no rope to hold them!

My palms sweat, literally, when I see tight rope walkers doing their thing between buildings, gorges, etc., or when I watch free climbers ascending sheer mountain faces.

In truth, once a skilled tree climber, like me, is tied in, he/she is safer than someone walking down the street, when it comes to unexpected falls.

All I have to say is Yikes!!

Where’s Gary?

These people are just plain crazy? There is no way I’d even consider doing anything like that for so many reasons and I’m a bit on the crazy side.
Second thought, it’s stupid.

 

[jujube]

I blew the picture up and it appears that they have some sort of individual safety lines attached to the cable. I would certainly hope so.

 

[Keesha]

Of course they do

 

[treeguy64]

Of course they do

Yep, they do. I'd be worried about the main cables they're attached to. Occasionally, when I'm nearly hanging in mid-air, at 60', gunning my chainsaw, pruning branches, I briefly think about how old my current rope is. Not a good thing to meditate on, at that point. I also am attached to a climber's lanyard, at the same time.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I fell out of a hammock 3 feet off the ground,I'd never survive this.

 

[treeguy64]

At around 25, I had a hammock break, at its sewn seams, out of nowhere, as I was in it. My lower back never fully recovered. The store where I bought it went out of business, shortly thereafter. I wasn't very litigious, back then.

what if they wanna peeeeeee…..ekkkkkk
