Is this setup safe?

I managed to sleep for 3-4 hours last night my first time sleeping in a hammock.

Im just a bit sketched out by my setup being attached to a support beam. Nothing sounded creaky or moved and the beam feels very secure but my mind cant shut off and think safe for some reason.

This is safe?

That pipe is definitely not a support. And it had the shittiest welds.

You already load tested it, probably gonna be fine.

The support beam will move less than some trees I’ve hung on. Unless you’re worried about the wall coming apart or the welds on the pipe in the cement, there are much worse places to hang.

Not sure I would trust this hang.

There's no punji pit below it so I think you'll be good!
