Yeah, i calculated 2.8kN for a 100kg person with a 10degree sag in the line. The dynamic load all depends on how far you assume it to give, if a 100kg person jumps and lands with stiff legs (which they probably won't) and the line only gives 30cm the load could be up around 15kN.
considering the bolts you saw i might just buy some steel biners though...

cheers
