Hunter falls 22ft. out of treestand

[compaq]

For everyone that thinks using safety with treestand is important, yes it is....but also realize that even a safety belt can go wrong, great example int his vid. I know Dale the guy in the video who fell. Although it looks like a movie or something at first, its just goood editing. They were putting together a tree stand video for their hunting team and his harness broke in the process, check it out, great vid

Yep thats why I don't trust buckles....I use wrap around the tree and pull through tree belts/ropes...Lucky Lucky guy

Hope he recovers quickly. who made the failed harness, and do they know why it failed? design flaw? worn parts? improper installation? What happened?
