I have 2 one with the swing out front bar so it is completely out of the way when hunting with a swing up foot rest,i really like both of them,but like someslse mentioned you want to make sure that you use the strap on the top piece because it is so light that while standing you could cause it to fall around your feet,I also have two oldman climders.As far as safety restraints anyone hunting from a stand should really invest in a qualit full containment safty harness or better still a safty vest.
