Getting
In and Out
The
action of getting in or out of the hammock requires
extra caution. It's at these times that one is
prone to lose balance with the potential of falling
and even injury. Once a person has lost balance,
there is little chance of recovery since the hammock
will generally swing away from the falling person
grabbing for support.
Getting
in and out of a hammock requires extra caution
in much the same way as getting in and out of
a canoe does. Backing up to the hammock and gripping
it on both sides allows control of the position
and level of the hammock as the user maneuvers
to get in.
To
get in, first sit sideways in the middle of the
hammock with your feet still on the ground; this
tests the setup before committing your entire
weight to the hammock. Generally the hammock fabric,
the tie-out straps and the knots give way a bit
at this point as they stretch and tighten. I often
get up to readjust the straps and inspect the
knots and supports at this time.
Sit
in the hammock again, and when you are convinced
the setup will hold, lift your feet, swing them
into the hammock and lie back.Getting out of the
hammock is the reverse of getting in; grab both
sides of the hammock for leverage and control,
then pull yourself up, lift your feet and swing
them down to the ground. Stand up only once you're
sure your feet are on the ground, your legs will
take your full weight and your balance is secure.
