ha this is a ? like why do some people wear PPE at work and some don't. Yes some times it gets in the way, some times it sucks to have on, and maybe just forgot to put it on, but let me let you there is always that chance that some thing is going to go wrong. And when it does bad things can happen. There was just a pic on here of a guy that had one on and fell but it caught him and all that happened was a bad cut on his leg.

If he didn't have that on what could of happened maybe a broken leg, arm, neck, back or heck dead if he hit just right. I think if your in a tree stand and you can get one you should put it on. Why not whats the worst thing that can happen if your have it on??? miss a shot, to broken and not able to hunt or death and never hunt again.
