Default RE: Falling out of treestands

Has anybody fallen with a safety harness on? I'm curious as to how you would get down. I bought a new harness and it has a web cutter attached to the chest strap. I can just see myself being saved from a nasty fall...hanging by my harness...I grab the tree...get settled...cut the strap that just saved my life...and then fall. So I guess we just bear hug the tree and slide down after we cut the strap. Do we try to climb up and slide the tree strap down just in case we loose our grip it can save us from another fall? I looked at the Tree Safety website and they don't have anything about getting down. I would think that would be a good video to post there. Does anyone know of a video that shows how to get down?

Happy and Safe Hunting
Reid
