my good friends dad fell out of his tree stand hunting last night... he fell ruffly 27ft b4 he hit the ground... no safety harness on...

when he hit he broke 5 ribs, punctured a lung, bruised his liver, and broke 2 vertabre in his back...

he crawled out of the woods in pure darkness with no glasses... hes legally blind pretty much without them being on... its a miracle he got out b4 he bleed to death... he had to go like 500 yds to the nearest road... where he passed out and was found...


right now hes in critical condition:(

say a prayer i know my friend is takin it hard:(

I hope he has a full recovery and makes it, no matter how small treestand, always use a safety harness. Stuff like this can be prevented. :(

27ft straight down... no branches when u use a climber...


and dont tell me that u can't shoot with a harness on... mine gives me no problems what so ever... a 5 point harness will no effect u in anyway... the other ones don't effect it either... its a mental thing... u really should wear one... this could be u:(

great news! The guy is out of the hospital and recovering at home.

But sadly our friend that we went riding with last weekend crashed his bike and himself pretty bad....they were racing (playing) on a dirt track that is by a place we ride and the guy was going around a corner and all of a sudden his bike stopped he flew off landed right on his side the bike fliped over landing on its handle bars (which are bent pretty bad that the bike wabbles when he rides). He was out cold for second or two but when he got up his one eye was all out of wack kind of just roaming. He was thankfully wearing a helmet (found out later that his helmet cracked :eek2: ) and a chest protector but when he flew off and landed he hit his side. His knuckles and his side was pretty banged up but he thought nothing of it. He was still hurting after a week and so he went to the doctor.....and they took x-rays and he has broken ribs, broken knuckles and he has to go for a cat scan to see if he cracked his head (because of the way his eye went roaming). So please keep those prayers up for a speady recovery for this guy and for our other friend that nothing more serious has happened to him.
