As one who came close to becoming a statistic I won't "EVER" be up off the ground without my safety vest on. I was fortunate to only suffer a broken wrist and some busted ribs, but it was a definite wake up call for me. My new Safety Systems Vest is probably the best piece of equipment I've purchased in a very long time. There's no excuse for not wearing one!!!! I truly hope all my fellow bowhunters take this issue seriously, and be "SAFE"!!!!
