Yep, brings back a few memories for sure. I am not really sure how we did not fall out of some of them honestly.

Loc-on’s are no more dangerous than a climber. Being complacent and careless are the problem. True

I fell out of one built in the forks of an oak, similar to cchoquette when I grabbed the top 2x4 step it pulled out of the tree. Luckily I only sprained an ankle. I had a homemade climber fashioned after the Amacker stands when I was a teen and dropped the bottom a few times before I tied them together. Between those old stands and a Honda Big Red it’s a miracles my ass is still here!

I fell in 2011. It was before I knew what life lines were. We had I-bolts in the tree that we would strap into once up the ladders for our lok ons. I had already hunted the stand that season and others had including my larger brother. I was at the top of the stick ladder when the top strap popped and down I went from 25ft. On the way down one of the rungs tore through 3 layers and got my inner thigh but missed my giblets. I was knocked out and when I woke I slowly discovered what happened. I tied off my leg with my belt because it was the most blood I’d seen. I can text a pic if someone wants to post it Posting for cchoque93: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0lCqBTf.jpg)

General, little too bad for him even. Cut open from the 12-6 position if my leg were a clock. Ended up having 2 surgeries because my skin was dying. Skin grafts are not fun Least you didn't tear your çods off
We will burn that bridge when we get there
