I fell out of my climber fall 2005 when i was going down after the hunt. i always wear my vest when up in treestand but never while going up or down. Big mistake bottom wasn't securely dug in tree as my weight shifted while moving hand climber away i went 22 feet. Landed on my left side. I broke collar bone 2 places, shoulder blade, fractured 3 ribs, fractured Glenoid cavity (concave bone shoulder ball sits in) displaced 3 vertabrae in cervical portion of neck had a cervical laminoplasty to relieve pressure on spinal cord. cell phone smashed on fall had to walk about 1/2 mile out. Great stand, stupid error Use your belt going up and down would have save me about 6 months of pure hell!!! Not to mention I nearly orphaned my children and financially we won't even go there BE SAFE
