HI everyone, there is a lot of stored energy in the system. be careful. The “bite” or fold in the webbing makes it so if it should, yank, it slips out, and does not take your hand with it.

+1 for protecting the trees. I’m a bit sad that you guys chose a picture of slacklining where no tree protection was used, though. Ideally you wouldn’t have any pictures like that on your site at all.

Would a foam roll matt (the kind you would sleep on whist camping) be any good for tree protection?

Princess Auto carries “tree savers” essentially 4 inch wide nylon straps that can be fastened around the tree and hooked to the slack line.

Yello! I have found that old rugs and towels work great, thicker ones by themselves and thinner ones can be doubled. Also since they are old they can be cut to the size needed, and the rub factor is less because they are often made with a softer fabric than carpets.

I’m not quite sure how the loop saves your fingers on the deconstruction. My friend and I set this system up and when we took it down the tension took my finger with it. it was no where near any pinch points. Just a cautionary tale. Be safe out there.

This works great, BUT and a very large BUT that is. This thing is a monster! I set one up with a friend, but we generated so much tension, that we were unable to take it down. When we slid the line back under the biner to take it down the friction was still held by the first pinch. When we undid that it snapped with such ferocity that it took off my friends FINGER!!!!!!!!!!!! Be careful this thing is a gnarly bastard!
