Thursday, October 9, 2014, 5:06 PM - A group of thrill-seekers decided to take a time out on a hammock, but the killer view they enjoyed didn't come easy: The team was suspended over a 100-metre drop.

The event took place on September 9 and it was documented by photographer Sebastian Wahlhuetter.

"This special set up was rigged with 1.000 kg of pre-tension and reached 2.350 kg of total work load after 22 people in 16 hammocks volunteered for this epic session," Wahlhuetter writes on his blog.

The event -- dubbed the Ultimativ Hammock Chillout Session -- was held at the Monte Piana in Italy, upon hammocks that were provided by Ticket to the Moon.
