Same thing happened to me in an Ole Man about 10 years ago. I posted the story here but at the time thought somebody had sabatoged my stand as I was hunting Illinois public land. Come to find out it was a stand defect with the pins. I started hallucinating about my buddies 12 year old son finding me purple hanging upside down and said “oh hell no”. Scariest thing that ever happens to me. I eventually determined to break my ankle but as I tried to do this the plastic buckle holding the straps on my feet broke clean in half. I don’t remember falling just next thing I knew I was sitting on the ground. It was a God moment for sure. So glad your buddy is ok. Btw I had a harness but wasn’t attached. Never again.
