Hammock usage and safety guidelines

  • Make sure the hammock and its straps, knots and carabiners are in good condition and properly attached before using it.

  • The higher you hang, the harder you fall. Avoid hanging the hammock higher than 50 cm (20 in) off the ground and also check what’s underneath you (hardness, sharpness, etc).

  • Don’t jump in the hammock.

  • Go in slowly, sit before lying fully.

  • Hammocks can only withstand a certain weight, no more than one person at a time.

  • Empty your pockets, before going in the hammock, of sharp objects such as keys and knives.

  • The best way to relax in your hammock is diagonal. This way you can spread the hammock to its maximum width to have more space and lay flatter.

  • Please report promptly any damage or malfunction of a hammock.
