dogdoc Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Safety Harness opening weekend I was trying to remove a small limb from a shooting lane--i guess i missed it when I checked the stand a few weeks earlier. I was leaning from the stand and grabbed the limb to pull it back to cut it--while i was pulling it back it broke and the momentum threw me back---I had the tree strap on tight so I was able to keep from falling off the stand--without the harness I would have fallen about 15 feet. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Safety Harness Haven't had a misshap yet, but I wore mine tonight in the stand after reading a post that made me think twice. Won't be hunting in the stand unless I'm wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Safety Harness I've only hunted in a stand a few times, but when I do, I'll definetly be wearing a harness after I read Nick's post about his grandfather.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dg Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Safety Harness When do most aircraft crashes occur? During take-off and landing. Wear your harness ALWAYS! Leave the ego in the truck, put your family first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge4x4 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Safety Harness Well, I've worn harnesses a couple times, and never fallen and had to have them save me. However, I have tested them and found that I can get parallel with the ground and they still hold me. One time last year though, I had my harness on. I didn't have a rope to haul my gun up though, so I just opened the chamber, left it that way, and left it empty while strapped to my back. I was half way up the tree in the climber and I was raising the bottom part when all of a sudden the top part broke off bark and it fell down and hit the bottom part. I hadn't had time to hook my harness yet because I wasn't up all the way, so it's just me, wrapped around a tree, an unloaded gun on my back, 10 foot in the air. Man, when that stand hit the barb wire fence at the bottom of the tree, it sounded like WWII. I mean, there prolly wasn't a deer for 2 miles after that.
