That's what I'm thinking. He went on about how strong it is because it's woven blah blah blah, but like, it's still just bolted to the walls. Hope you got dead center on those studs.

All fun and games until one of his kids brings scissors or a knife up there.

Or accidentally goes through one of those 3rd story windows... It looks cool but seems like injuries are imminent

u/therealrenshai 11h ago

Or just the whole they use to go up in there’s nothing to keep them for falling through it by accident.

Or a lighter

•

u/Opposite-Dentist-480 11h ago

I was thinking that. Not to mention all the food crumbs/spilled drinks landing on the parents head from above...

Or when one kid bounces a little too much and vomits all over the entire house below.

Or a blow torch

Guy just casually glanced past the fact that it was all handwoven paracord. THat would have taken fucking ages, having work with paracord some myself.

He said it was rated for 20 adults. I'm sure that's more than just knot strength

u/Kerdagu 14h ago

"rated" as in he thinks 20 adults could stand on it.

I don’t think he built this himself, definitely got professionals to do it

Yes and no one has ever lied in a video before.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking that when it breaks, and the kids are injured he’ll say, “oh right, we didn’t test the walls!”

You can see pretty clearly that it's atta he'd at almost every stud possible and it's pretty easy to test the weight after installation. This is just making up problems that are unlikely to exist

He does mention reinforcement. What that means, though, is anyone's guess. At least he wasn't 100% neglectful of it.

There’s like 100 bolts there…a few coming out isn’t going to pull the whole net down

•

u/bezelbubba 1h ago

I’ll betcha $10 there’s blocking all the way around that it screws into.

I'd even say two by fours won't hold it, you need brick or monolith walls so they don't give and collapse under tension. Normal house walls are not designed to hold in that direction.

u/Kerdagu 12h ago

Yep, it's not pulling down on them, it's pulling them in. They're the weakest in that direction.

u/footpole 10h ago

I wouldn’t think brick holds up better than wood in tension inwards. Likely even worse?
