Invisible hammocks?

If you ever wanted an invisible hammock, or to hoist yourself to space on a thread so small you can't see it, well you just might get the chance.

The gizmodo article says it all, but this is pretty sweet. I want to see this kind of thread being used for everything from hammocks to trip wires. There has got to be a downside to this thing?

Homer: Ohh right, in the hammock district!
