One of our AlDeer members (I'm not naming him) was hanging a loc-on this morning. Once he got it up he stepped onto it and the platform cables broke and he wasn't wearing a harness. He got lucky and only broke a wrist. When hanging a stand, wear the damn harness and tether off using a lineman's rope. Once the stand is hung, tether off to the tree like you would normally before stepping into the stand and use a life line when you hunt the stand. If you hunt from an elevated stand, it's not a question of if you'll fall, but when. WEAR THE DAMN HARNESS!!!!!

Yea, i hate those dang stands with the tiny cable that holds it up. Some are like less than an 1/8" cable. We use one for a shelf at camp and i sat on it and one broke.

I know there are already many horror stories on here about harnesses but maybe a few more want hurt. My shop teacher in HS fell out of his stand and his gun went off as he was falling. He didn't make it. On a different side a friend fell out again not using a harness, he had been asleep and woke up in the air and landed on his feet. Even though he was ok it scared him enough to never leave home without it. Think about it like most of us do a seat belt. Chances are you are not going to need it but if you do....

I'll say this, to see it is just as bad. I never wear mine while hanging a stand. I can assure you I will wear it at all times now.

You needed a linemans belt for hanging stands. It leaves both hands free. Some harnesses have linemans loops too. Use it for hanging ladders too !

TWA statistics from accidents. 63% of accident victims were intoxicated. Don't drink and climb. Ages 50-59 had most accidents. 50 % happened while climbing in/out of stand. Wow, drunk and hunting!

I hate to hear of the accident but glad it wasn't worse. If anybody in the tuscaloosa area needs a harnass I have several that came with stands still in the pack. Let me know and I will get it to you free.

I fell two years ago from Tuesday and had my harness on. I learned that day there is no way to be 100% safe while hanging those stands and sold every one I had. Ill climb my pines and strap in from bottom to top.

I have never before wore a safety harness while hanging a loc on stand. But i promise you from now on I will have one for sure. All I can say is I'm one lucky person. God fro sure had his hands on me that day. Fractured wrist is all that happened. Get my cast off hopefully next Monday.

Always wear a safety harness and make sure you check everything before hanging a stand. I would have never thought the cables would break on a loc on. Boy was I wrong.
