I mean, I guess I fell out of a bed a few times, but I was either really drunk or having a nice time...
Falling branches, snapping ropes, Something better please. Like any outdoor sleeping arangment always check for widow maker tree limbs, and have your gear in good condition.
I don't use hammocks when I camp because I' ve seen it happen. A dislocated shoulder and cracked rib are no way to start the day. I'll us a tent and sleep on the ground.
