Heres a bizarre question for you, with webbing, or amsteel, does it matter what direction the load is applied? For example, in a hammock suspension, if webbing is used with a spreader bar it will have side load put on it, in addition to the regular stress of a hammock suspension. Does this affect the load rating of the strap? (or amsteel) Would it be more likely to fail with a side load?
