RE: Another falls and is in a body cast.
ban me for what ? I am not breaking the law by not wearing a safety belt in a tree. As vc1111 I think pointed out most falls are not from the stand but rather climbing into the stand and leaving the stand where a safety belt would have made no difference.
I guess my point is we all live dangerous lives. Not wearing your seat belt in your car (I do) eating poorly, not excercising, letting your body go downhill, driving fast, smoking or drinking too muchand things like that. I don't do any of the above things, many of you do, so it puts things into prespective is all.
Remember I am 100% legal in choosing not to wear a safety harness. I think its great people who do use one. Maybe I will in the future, its a good thing to do.
