RE: summit stand failure
ok guys, i am off to work now i will post some pics when i get home.
short story, i'm climbing in the dark this morning, i am about 15 feet up and i put pressure on the bottom and it felt like it was "giving way" for lck of a better turn. i thought it was wierd, made one more "climb" and when i put pressure on the bottom again it bent more . like taffy....when you see the pics you will be shocked, i had a tough time getting out of the tree.
i have 4 summit vipers, never had an issue, but this got me scared. like i said, it was like the metal just "melted".
pics to follow
