20 year old dies
 

I hope all of you are wearing your safety harnasses. This is very sad as harnasses are so easy to come by and easy to wear.

That's absolutely horrible.... There's NO reason good enough to not wear a safety belt while in a tree. I'd rather look like an absolute dork than die.

That's terrible. So sad.
Here is a quote from that article:
''One in three (hunters) that climb up in a tree are going to fall out during the course of their lives. That's the national average,'' Davis said.

Is that true? Seems a little high to me.

Uggg! You SHOULD ALWAYS have a belt on. I don't know one person who said, I knew and was planning on falling out of a tree. You just never know.

Yes, it's true.
