Default wear it

wear it. i used to wear one most of the time and in 93 i hung a stand for a kid and did not have one on. kicked the stand in and down i came. should have killed me broke back crushed heel and foot. out of work for a long time. limp bad since but hunted every year since with belt. now at 55 i have to replace knee due to foot bad knee worn out. i am trying to hunt this year before i have it done but cant walk very far. i am 6,3 and very strong upper body and always thought i could graab a limb if i fell. i did but no way can u hold yourself. do yourself and your family a favor and wear it. the stand was a loc on limb and the s hooks straightened and the stand fell. i use climbers and ladders now never a hang on i just cant make myself get in one...
