Make sure you check your straps periodically and replace them.  I replace
my straps about every 300 days of use.  I've had straps that you could pull
apart from UV deterioration, they looked fine but with a strong pull I 
could rip them.  

I've also had straps badly fray from vibration against something I was 
carrying, the most damage coming from the seam in a sailboard.
