Well it finally happened. Something I thought would never happen to me, I'm to safe. Thanks to my harness, no harm, no foul, except I no I will be sore in the morning. Stood up and turned wrong on my stand, the sudden jolt when you hit the end of your laniard is the worst part, but hitting the ground would have been a lot worse. Remember folks wear your harness, it might save your life.

Count your blessings you were smart enough to have a belt on at all!

I've fallen and been lucky...but now wear a harness every time I get into a stand.

Glad you are OK.

Now that is the kind of story I like to hear if someone has to fall out of a tree stand. I'm very happy to hear that you had the harness one. Sore ribs will heal. A broken neck will not. I'll bet your family is also very happy. Good luck the rest of the season and keep that belt tight.

What makes more noise- Putting on a safety harness or falling down 20 feet?
