RE: Treestand accidents!
I've only fallen once, about 6 feet, while going up. A branch broke and I landed on my back in about 10" of fresh snow, no injury. Other than that, not even a close call. I've been using harness for almost 20 years, but not when I go up or down, the most dangerous time. When I use my climber, I'm hooked up all the way.
