I have climbed up Trees to hunt for 40 years and have fell out a couple of times. Once I trusted a limb and it let me down, another time I had a step pull out. Bruised, banged, and a seperated shoulder but was very lucky in both instances. I have had friends that have fell and were not so lucky. I am much more careful than I used to be 15 years ago, but accidents do and can happen. It seems every year someone local falls and is badly injured.
