Area man falls from treestand

Unread postby Wrinkleneck » Thu Nov 25, 2010 12:29 pm

I know a guy in my area that just got flown out of the woods from a treestand fall. His deal was when he got to the top of his ladder stand, the top strap on the stand broke and he went over backwards 18 feet to the ground. Broke his arm and leg but will heal for the most part with some plates and screws. He never made it all the way to the platform to attach his saftey harness. Sad deal, it just sends chills down my spine everytime I hear of something like this. I really think that on ladder stands(for sure if you leave them up year round) a guy should run a small chain around the tree and hook it to the stand as an added saftey mearsure.

Darn, hope he is alright.

Good suggestion on the chain.
