I'd say you got it right. The main part of the harness is very thick, so it would require hooking the loop to divide the strain at the ends.

If one used the loop (only), a great deal of strain would be placed on that single polyethylene-line splice. The hook's attachment doesn't appear to be designed for taking all the strain, either.
