Hey,
I have but one question; how does the webbing support the force of a fall? I know it is rated to 22kn. but i have seen video footage of two guys slacklining in Yosimite and their line snapped. Do you guys use a rope under the webbing, or does it usually hold?
Thanks,
Ryan

Line snappage is generally not from overtensioning, but from wearing and rubbing on something. In the case of that video, the line rubbed over a period of a few days, I believe, before it snapped. Highlines like the ones in the pics above are padded nicely, and the forces put on them aren't going to come close to testing their strength. :)
Awesome pics Larry! Can't wait to get down there!
