I messed up and fell ,but I'm ok . I got in my stand and cliped my harness strap to the rope and turned to pull my pack up and ??? I have to admitt I was thinking about other things . I found my self hanging with my hips just below the platform . I pulled my self up and checked my self out . A scrape on my hand and a bruise on my hip from hiting the stand . And a world class wedgie from the harness pulling up my pants. I read the harness directions and they recomend replacing it after a fall , a small price for not falling . So harness up it saved me from a bad fall.
