Don't be stupid (like me)

RE: Don't be stupid (like me)
I went up about 25 feet in a stand once without my safty belt and It wasn't cool. With my bow still on the ground, I shifted my weight to one side of the stand and away I was going. I jumped into a ceder tree next to the stand and that broke my fall. When I hit the ground I was waiting for something to start hurting but nothing. I was very lucky. I will no longer go into a stand 15 feet or higher without a belt on.

It always amases me how a fall will educate someone. Make no mistake about it, I'm glad you are ok but I can't for the life of me understand why it always takes a fall torid someone of that macho attitude that it won't happen to me. How many times will we read a story like this this year, how many times have we already read one like it this year?
