Default RE: Treestand accidents and safety

been there and done that now, i think it knocked a little sense in me, i was hanging my stand using screw in steps and my soles of my boots must have been wet because i looked up to see how much farther i had and down i went. 20 foot straight down and luckily the ground broke my fall . Broken arm, nicks and bruises, and a nasty bruise later, i now use a linemans type setup to hang them. Almost missed bowseason because of it, i was lucky. To beat it all, of course guys get that "im not hurt dont worry" attitude so i shot my bow and hit some golf balls and i just thought i sprained my wrist. So i didnt tell anyone till the next day and after some xrays and a trip to the doctor i had a cast.....lesson learned
