gjersey I did not mean to disrespect George or his family or belittle his death. It is very tragic! I am deeply saddened to read this post. I feel very bad for that man and his family ~ I really do!

However - His death was totally preventable and The Hunter Ed Instructor which I am ~ came out in me. It is a teaching moment for others and not a selling moment. A 5point harness is the safest harness one can wear, that in case of a fall in any said manufactured tree stand it will save your life. And improvements are being made all the time as with that safety rope with the Prusik knot.
That is all I meant nothing more. To prevent futher tragedy for someone else.

Sorry if I offended. But at times the hard truth offends everyone.
