It seems you have not pulled the reefing cringle down hard with the reefing outhaul at the clew of the main. You seem to be relying on the small reefing lines and the reefing diamonds to hold the sail along the boom. Those lines are not designed to hold any force, but rather just to gather up the excess cloth. Such a setup can rip the sail.

Back to the lifelines question...If you race, be sure to check your local PHRF or one-design specs/requirements re lifelines.
