Whoa, I dig that test rig!
I would also like to get the full story behind that 1.9 ripping in such a manner, devil being in the details and such.
I use only knots — slipped buntline or sewn loop at tree, and Lapp hitch to hammock CL — and mine are totally fine after about 10 nights of hanging. But I'm about 170lb and a GE hanger... for somebody over 200lb using a bridge, I'd think twice because of the shallower suspension angle.
