Default RE: broken mathews, almost fall to his death

Thanks for the heads up. I always wore the old black waist belts that came with all the older lock on stands. This year I got a summit climber and had to watch the video to get it put together properly. The part about climbing safety using aharness and safety strap all the way up and down was an eye opener. I won't use the old system anymore and will probably get a Hunters Safety System vest and use that along with the 2 harnesses with lineman’s belt I now have. Statistically 1 in 4 hunters will fall sometime in their hunting life. Not good odds and everyone needs to think about that. Thanks again for sharing.
