What is still a mystery to me: apparently, it came loose at the hammock/rope suspension intersection. Loose enough to put you on the ground. So, I'm thinking you must have been pretty close to the ground before you got in? Otherwise the mystery is how it could have come loose enough to put you on the ground without also pulling completely out of the knot cover and free of the hammock.
But it doesn't really matter, we just are obsessed about trying to understand all things hammock related. Especially things that dump us on the ground! Bottom line is, there was a defect in the factory rope to hammock knot, and now you can give it another go with a new one. Here's wishing you better luck! At least you didn't end up upside down in the net like I did on my first night!
