RE: WV Hunter Dies In Treestand Fall
Yeah man, it's easy to say "I'm the big, brave, macho Alpha Male - who isn't afraid of heights. I don't need a harness."
Fast forward to the day after your platform slips out and you fall 26' and crush 3 lumbar vertebrae - paralyzed from the waist down. Then, you can look your wife in the face while she sits in your hospital room and tries to figure out how she's gonna juggle work and family and changing your diapers for the rest of her life.
I really don't feel bad for guys who hurt themselves through their own ignorance. Truly though, I do feel horrible for their friends and family, whose collective lives will never be the same.
