Have You Ever?
« on: October 07, 2003, 06:40:53 AM »
Had the opportunity to test your safety harness?

I got to thinking about that Saturday in the stand. I always put it on, but if I actually had to use this thing, what kind of mess would I be in? Maybe instead of breaking my neck, I'd hang upside down till dead. I don't know what exactly would happen. The sudden stop when the belt got to its end would probably snap some ribs. Would I be choaked to death around the neck? How would I manage to get myself back in the stand or on the ground? Could I somehow right myself back up and be back where I belonged or would I end up cutting the strap with a knife and falling anyhow?

i have tested mine out on a tree lounge.....not by coice though. Scared me half to death :oops:
But now with my Timber Tall stand i have come closer to falling out with each climb.  I really have changed my mind about this stand.  It is a death trap waiting to happen.
Needless to say i am now in the market for a new stand.  I would really like to purchase a summit but i don't want to spend too much money.
Any of you ever use a North Star climber?? I am thinking about buying one.
