[quote=builder459;3856285] Better put some side rails on it in case you fall asleep

[quote] I had a friend that fell asleep in a stand some years ago. To hear him tell the story it was funny, but to think about the consequences....well, thats a whole different story. He told me that he had worked a double shift and when he got out of work at 7:00 am the conditions were perfect for bowhunting a particular stand he had set up. He said about 40 minutes into his hunt he became drowsy...he said the next thing he knew he was on the ground and he was in serious pain. He told me that from what he remembered..."It was like one of those dreams you have that you're falling, the only difference is that when you wake up, IT HURTS LIKE A B-ATCH!!! He said he must have fallen asleep, (apparently with no restraints) and just rolled forward out of his stand. He was very lucky that he didn't break anything, or fall onto his bow, but he had to make several trips to the Doctor to have fluid drawn from his knee.....I always wear the safety harness...I think of Stan and his story and it's an IMMEDIATE reminder!!!....BPS
