Glad to hear you are basically OK! I stepped off a treestand once, fell 16'. Luckily I did not get hurt at all. Guess I was a little excited about shooting a deer!<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
I slipped off of a stand once while wearing a waist belt. I was immediately upside down and pressed against the trunk of the tree so hard that it took me several minutes of struggling to get turned right side up again. I honestly think I would rather fall than go through that again!
Now I wear one of those seat o` the pants harness systems. They are nice. I am getting old enough now that I don`t think I would bounce very good anymore!
