Default Opinions On Safety Harnesses!!!!!

I have been looking into safety harnesses and the one I seem to like the best is the HS Safety System. Opinions on this one and others would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

I bought a Big Game Treestands Platinum Diamondback this year and I have nothing bad to say about it. I used to just use the ones that came with the stands so this was a huge step up form that. It doesn't get tangled when you take it off and the buckles for the straps that go around your legs make it a breeze to take on and off.

I have both HSS and the Gorilla safety harness and I like both. I won the HSS after I bought the Gorilla 2 yrs ago. If I had to pick one over the other, it would be the HSS. I'm not quite sure why,it just seems to be the one I grab most.
Besides, any of the capture harness's out there are better than one not at all!!!!

Default Nothing is absolute

When you climb, it is dangerous.

Kind of a short statement. Why do you say it's dangerous while climbing? I never thought mine was and that's when I used the old style SOP deluxe.

Because if God had wanted us up in the air he'd have given us wings, LOL! Just kidding!

Safety devices and harness, properly secured, will save you from hitting the ground. The problem then is getting to the ground or back to a fixed stand.
It's a problem called Suspension Trauma.
