Fact!! i just spoke to him about 10 minutes ago and he says that he feels like he fell out of a tree!!!! His chest hurts, his right calf is really sore as is his shoulder. Nothing bruised so far, no problems breathing. Just sore. He shortened his tether between the platforms to 5 ft and will just have to go with that. He said if nothing else, he will tie off to his seat part of the climber from the "V" part towards the tree and then back into the body area. We'll see. Lesson learned, tha hard way.
