in architecture school a classmate & i made a similar structure, we were studying tension structures, we called it tens-egrity (tension integrity) unfortunately, i don't have any pics of it, we did however get a AIA students award for it.
It was very stable & could support both if our weight, but has no redundancy, if the cable fails, the whole thing crashes down.
