I had the same thing happen but both sides came loose and the cable hit the ground. My harness caught me at about a 45 degree angle going over backwards. I had to hug the tree all the way down. I had only been wearing the harness all the way up and down for a year or two, I used to just strap in after I was up. I tightened the latches and keep a very close eye on them now. I'm still using that stand.
