Ditto. My dad is sitting out this season because he fell from a ladder stand pre-season and shattered his hip. He was lucky to live through it. It was 6 hours before they found him. It was only a 12 ft ladder.

Please remember that it is not IF but WHEN you will fall out of your stand. Been there, done that. Always wear your safety harness when climbing.

Re: Wear your saftey vests!
Ditto that!!!! Last year I was 20' up in my Summit climber and went to readjust a little, with all my weight on the seat section. Next thing I know my bottom section is hanging free from the tree still connected to my feet with only one end of the cable attached!!!!!! 
To make a long story short, having my safety tether around the tree and connected to my harness made a really dangerous experience not all that bad. It was a PITA to get everything attached again, but that beats laying on the ground seriously injured and waiting on the coyotes or just being dead!
