If you don't wear a vest YOU ARE JUST DUMB! They should make it a law if thats what it takes. My god I have not heard of one story where someone who fell was planning on it. I don't hunt high or I have a bar in front of me. NO EXCUSE!!!!! Wear it or be labled a idiot!

Worst part about it is his son was right there, and witnessed it.
No telling how old this young man was .
Not to mention how it will impact him personally.

As many times as I see these threads is as many times as I'm going to say this same thing:

If a fall from the top of the Sear's Tower can kill you just as a fall from 20ft up can kill you, why would you wear a safety harness on the tower and not the tree?

Here's a new one for you non harness wearers: If getting run over by a bus going 5mph can kill you just the same as getting run over by a bus going 50mph, why would you be more or less afraid of either scenario?

Connect to the ladder or install a prussic knot on a rope secured to the stand.
