RE: % of hunters not using a harness
How many of you that don't wear a safety harness wear a seat belt "just in case"? I haven't been involved a car accident in decades but I always wear a seat belt, and anyone in my car will wear a seat belt, just in case my car is involved in accident. I wear my safety harness for the same reasons.
Would you let your child (that is old enough to bowhunt)sit in a treestand without a safety harness?
