RE: PA Hunter dies in fall
fran when you have kids, I will give you this tip. One of the biggest killers under 2 for kids is Balloons. They bite them, they pop, kid gets scared, takes a deep breath in. Now balloon is stuck in the throat and a crowbar could not get it out. How many people do you see with a kid under 2 let play with a balloon in a resturant or at a park?
I suggest you use your citzens arrest powers next time you see this, go pimp slap the parents and take the ballon away
. BTW I must seem like the biggest pr!ck(I am) to people who try and give my kids a ballon at that age. I have popped them right in front of the person[8D]

What's next, though......floaties in the ocean? Mandatory helmets in cars (don't laugh)? Body must be covered from sun's harmful rays in Summer months? Fatty foods outlawed (Ask NY about this one)?
TheMORE the US Gov't can stay the hell OUT of my life.....the better my quality of life will be. I'm a FIRM believer in this.

I'm a huge tightwad - so if a $10 harness will lower my cost of living - I'm all for it. I hate insurance, and I hate taxes.
Mark my words: If things keep going the way they're going, and people keep getting hurt and racking up huge medical bills,we WILL see the day when we each have to buy a hunting insurance policy every season.
It won't be long before insurers start writing dangerous activity exclusions into their policies - and we'll have to cover those gaps with additional "hunting" policies. They're already built into many employment contracts...
It's coming... Just something to roll around in your cranium.

They already do, Fran.
Try telling your carrier you're a smoker. Additional insurance premiums are WORLDS away from additional legislation, though. The taxes people pay on cigarettes (IMO) should be WHATEVER IT TAKES to make up for the losses healthcare facilities lose in un- and underinsured patients of smoking related illnesses. Let 'em pay "their" own way.

Weird how that works, eh?
I'm telling you guys: Hunting Insurance.
If we don't do somethingsoon - it's coming. Either big brother steps in and mandates that we all buy a $10 harness... Or, we each pay $100 a year for a $1 Million hunting policy to cover the gaps in our coverage. You pick.
Lots of people never thought we'd see the day for ATV insurance. Well, guess what?!?

My harness was ON SALE for $90!
I dont pay this. My homeowner's insurance covers loss and my normal insurance policy covers everything else. I wasn't even aware that this was mandatory in some places.

RE: PA Hunter dies in fall
The harness that came with my stand is more likely to snag on one of the body straps in a fall than it is to work properly. I use a smaller harness that straps around my waist and legs, we used to call it a boatswain's chair. It has clips on the front, side and back. In the event of a fall, I might be hanging upside down for a minute, but there's nothing that's going to wrap around my neck choke me out.
