and make sure when you set the tension on the chain you are either sitting on it or somebody thats the same size as you is sitting on it. then the tension will not be too tight once your on the qaud.
it is possible to overtighten the chain when there isnt any wieght on it, but then the first big bump that comes close to bottoming out will have the chain way too tight causing it to stretch or jump off, or look like yours does
