    dynaglide whoopies...

    I made a pair of dynaglide whoopie slings last night and gave them a brief test. They seem just fine but I was curious if anyone has had issues with them failing. They seem awfully thin.

    I know Opie posted a strength test on youtube of an amsteel sling. Is there anything like that for dynaglide?

    I've been using a pair I made for a while now with no issues, and no sign of wear. I've been in there with my 2 year old, and together we are probably around 250 pounds.

    Mundele, the DG sling I pulled apart failed around 930 pounds.

    Mundele, I'm 340 and have been hanging on the same whoopie nightly for a few months. I think you'll be okay.

    It is startling to me to be able to hang on string...

    I bought the green color. Kinda wish I had gotten orange now though (strictly for aesthetics) Anyone want to swap a few feet?


    930 lbs is pretty good strength rating. I think I like the dynaglide...

    orange sticks too much, stay with your green. But i will gladly switch with you if you want.

    I had no idea DG slings would support that much. Maybe there is hope for this 200 pounder...
