Of the few folks who have shot a bar through the bridge; most of them were related to the UQ somehow. What a few folks did was undo the spreader and slip the suspension over the hammock body (or wrap the Primary around the bar) then put the spreader bar back in. While that works fine when fully loaded; as you get into the bridge the UQ suspension stretches first which can then grab or push the spreader out of the amsteel leading to tragic unhappiness.
