I've been lucky over the years and never really had an "accident". I've been spurred by turkeys and kicked by not so dead deer a time or two but that's not really an accident. The closest I ever came to an accident was in a climber when I was a teenager. I had just shot a decent buck with my bow and was tying it to the pull up rope to lower it when the stand shifted to the side and about threw me out. I chucked that bow out of the tree and grabbed the pine before I went overboard. Broke both limbs on the bow when it hit the ground but totally worth dumping it.
