Whoopies shouldn't slip if you milk them after adjustment unless the adjustable bury is not long enough.

That is because there are 2 types of biners. You are thinking of the Ridgeline biner that is meant to disconnect you ridgeline.
The Dutch Biner is meant for suspensions and has held a 425 pound hanger

The problem that I had with the slap straps, more than stretching, was the lack of being able to adjust them. That six inches or spacing can make it hard to hang the way you want it to. If you do find a way to make it work put many loops close together.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

That was true with a static type of suspension line. But with the advent and acceptance of whoopie slings which are adjustable themselves you should be able to do some fine adjusting to compensate for the static hang points.
Ramblin I think you misunderstood me. I switched to woopies for the adjustablity. Slap straps are limiting and i think his idea with slaps made out of amsteel would do the same.
I got that... I've used the equivalent of slap straps and I agree they are extremely limiting with a static suspension. But if I wasn't happy with my ring buckle system I might consider them again because the setup is quick and easy and with the adjustable whoopie slings it seems they might be easier to deal with. Just a thought but not one I will be pursuing as I like the flexibility the ring buckle/webbing system gives me and I am not such a gram weenie that I care about the weight.
