RE: Breaking the silence, I fell!
I know exactly how that feels,on Jan 1sthad the chair break in a tripod stand in texas-fell 12ft and landed staight on top ofmy head.Unbelievably I only ended up with 5 staples in my head, a very sore neck and my left half of my left hand is still numb.probably going to have an MRI done-Doc thinks I have a ruptered disc.I'll take that compared to the alternative!!

It's a hard lesson to learn and always learned the wrong way and though I've never met you, I too am very thankful that you are still with us.

ORIGINAL: Schultzy Lol!! I can take It Jeff, give me hell!!;) Actually there Is a such thing as a tree that won't permit one, at least for me there was this fall. My portable hang on stands that I make myself can go In trees that can have a good lean to them. I adjust the angle of the stand so Its flat and not leaning with the angle of the tree. The the 2 trees I was In this fall both leaned back and thus the harness was way to short that connects me to the tree. My feet were close to the tree but my upper body and head were way to far away. |
RE: Breaking the silence, I fell!
I wish someone would maybe do a thread about what you would do if you fell "with" a harness attached. Has anyone here ever given thought to how you will extricate or relieve pressure from your extremities within 20 minutes. That is about how much time you have (I have been told), before you will start losing conciousness.
Any opinions or experiences? LT |

UPDATE!
Guys, I am just now getting close to a full recovery an feel lucky. My shoulder still is a little tender. I figure in about a month or so should be close to a full recovery. The reason for this update. Just a reminder to consider wearing a fall device if you never have before. I will have one on this coming season. |
RE: Breaking the silence, I fell!
Sorry to hear! I hope your recovery goes fast!
