And if the OP causes physical damage to anyone, including his or her
passengers, he could be wiped out financially without liability
insurance.

You need liability.
If you cause an accident that sends a bus full of pro football players off a
cliff, you'll also be on the hook for replacing the several hundred million
dollars of earning potential you just destroyed. Collison coverage won't
help you there. Depending on what state you're in, there are also financial
responsibility laws that make it illegal to drive if you don't have $50,000
(or some other big number) on tap to pay for other guy's losses in a timely
fashion. That's where your need for liability insurance comes in as it's the
only feasible way for most drivers to comply with this requirement.
You may not "need" collision if you're rich enough to pay for the rental car
and the loss of use without going into hock. Of course, the rental company
is free to refuse to rent to you if you don't have proof of collision
coverage and arent' willing to buy their CDW.

I'm waiting, for the chemist's goop they call ice cream, to be recalled
because, of the lack, of ice cream.

You can use a stake on the other side. Or plant a palm tree. ;)
I got a mango tree and a palm tree. Anyway I was very excited about
this article that confirms my theory...
Some Benefits of Hammock Swings
What comes to mind when you think about hammock swings? You think of
lazy summer days just relaxing in a comfortable hammock. Did you know
that hammocks actually provide some health benefits as well? Recently,
many doctors and therapists have been prescribing hammock usage to
patients with chronic pain of the back and legs. Why is this?
It really comes down to gravity. A hammock forms to your body when you
lay on it. Due to the hugging effect that occurs when lying on a
hammock, your body weight is distributed evenly across the surface
area of your body. All your weight no longer rests on your muscles.
Removing the excess weight from those muscles allows them and your
spine to relax and help to reduce pain in those areas. This is a huge
benefit for those that suffer from bad backs and pain in their lower
extremities.
