Agreed!
btw the 4 point harnesses are designed to not cut off circulation the way the old ones that just went under your arms were accused of doing...
and don't fall in the first place! (of course I know sh*t happens) but get yourself a quality ladder stand, big platform, arm rests, shooting rail. If you don't take it down every year, loosen those straps so the tree can grow, and snug them up before each season. or just replace them every year.
An oz. of prevention is worth a lb. of cure...

I'm 28, not overweight, and I get great cell phone reception on my hunting land. I don't use a harness.
If I fall, I plan on hitting the ground, shaking it off, and climbing back up. If I can't shake it off, I'll walk out. If I can't walk out, I'll call someone. If Im a quadriplegic, I'll freeze.

i was going to suggest this but forgot the name. i was think about buying this but i havent bumped into someone that has purchased one. i had a buddy you fell out of this tree stand he was going down the ladder and fell i guess it messed him up pretty bad. but again this product looks nice.
