Avoid
Misuse
The
hammock design presented in this website is intended
for one-person use. The extra weight of any additional
person will over-stress the setup and could cause
serious injury should the hammock or supports
fail. Limit the weight in the hammock to its original
design; this may include not allowing heavier
people to use your hammock. Note that any user
who gains weight after acquiring or making a hammock
may also be compromising safety! Do not swing
in the hammock. Gentle swaying, :escribed in an
earlier websection, is probably safe; :nowever,
anything else may be dangerous.
Avoid
sudden heavy movements in the hammock. hese can
cause extremely strong stresses, far greater qan
those caused by normal, gentle movements. The
;reater stresses can cause catastrophic failure
of the hammock materials or the sudden release
of dead ranches overhead as the stresses are transmitted
up e support trees and are then amplified even
more by trees' movement. I've actually had the
unsuspected ad top of a tree come crashing down
simply because Iturned over quickly! Avoid quick
movements and be sure of your supports.
Punctures
to the hammock fabric should be avoided. Even
small punctures can greatly weaken the fabric
and may lead to catastrophic failure. Punctures
during setting up or taking down can result from
snagging on sticks, briers, branches, rocks, logs,
etc. Punctures during use can result from snagging
by wristwatches, belt buckles, shoes, boots, zippers,
eyeglasses, head phones, pens, pencils, flashlights,
etc.
The
hammock materials are not fire retardant; in fact,
they will melt in a flame and can even ignite
and burn. Avoid all open flames therefore, and
do not smoke in the hammock. Do not set up the
hammock anywhere near a campfire since sparks
can damage it.
When
storing your hammock, follow the usual procedures
for protecting nylon fabrics, such as avoiding
volatile or corrosive chemicals and UV rays (sunlight).
