same thing happened to a buddy of mine. except his didnt land facing up. the ladder was bent in half and the shooting rail and platform were driven into the ground. he was in it the night before, so id say he lucked out for sure. a good rule of thumb is to make sure u put ur stand in a LIVING tree, guess he forgot that part when he put his stand up LOL.
