Fwiw I don’t think the netting would be of much use in protecting an adult. Good for sails, Maybe pekineses. I had custom Jacklines made by a company called cargo trade supply, and I pin them through the toerail with carabiners. In the material handling trade the Jackline it’s called a sling, has a certified load rating and costs a fraction of the nautical equivalent. This blog post has pics, including an overly clever attachment scheme. Now I simply push the loop through the toerail, and clip a carabiner through the loop.
