So yesterday I was setting up my slackline, and was really looking forward to a good slack session. After I got it set up I walked on it for about 30 seconds, and it started to rain. I just thought oh well. I'll just keep slacking. I've got to say slacklining in the rain is a lot of fun. But then after about 30 minutes the thought hit me. WHAP! Could this be damging to the line? Not knowing the answer I took the line down right away. So does anybody know if this can be damaging to the line? Thanks.

Being wet makes nylon more elastic.... You might've noticed the line sagged more. It also makes it weaker (while wet, not necessarily afterwards), but I doubt that it would weaken it enough to break it.
When I had a line in the rain, I had to retighten it and stretch it more to walk it. After all that, it seemed that the line lost some of it's springyness (is that a word?). In my opinion, that's the only thing you'd have to worry about.
