My cousin stood up and got ready when a doe turned and started his way this evening, when she turned and walked out of sight he hung up his bow and started to turn back around to set down and all at once his stand went down on the right side,

what happen is, on the end of cable that comes down there's like a crimp that holds the cable then the crimp thing bolts on to the platform that holds you up.... The cable came out!!!!
he camoed it when he got the stand new! and where the camo he sprayed ends tell the end of the cable is only about 1/4 inch long! it must have been cut short out of the factory!!! and when he put a lot of weight on that one side it just pulled out because it didn't have much holding it......

So watch out and check out your stand...
