Hello all, I was just out hanging using dynaweave straps tied to my CLs with the Becket hitch and had the knot slip on me. I've hung like this a few times before and never had the knot slip bit today I had both my head and foot ends slip on me when I put my full weight on the suspension. I weight like 165 pounds and I gave both sides a very tight pull to set the knot before I laid down.
I switched over to the style of Becket hitch that Warbonnet recomended in their YouTube video and these seem to be holding but today has really shaken my confidence in using the Becket hitch.
Further, after the knots slipped both the straps and my CLs were warm and appear to have melted in some areas. Per the attached photo, did I ruin my CLs? Should I replace them? Strongly considering going back to whoopies after this.
