Treestand safety harnesses should be a required item when hunting from a tree stand just like a life vest is required when your in a boat

You could be even safer by not climbing up a tree stand to start with

I used to hunt as well and so many times I have gotten sleepy. I do understand that love for hunting, but every year I hear someone say that would climb 25, 30 or even 50 feet if the tree permitted them to get that high. Dont let foolishness over rule that love, wear a harness designed to hold more than your weight. For your own safety as well as love of your family. Wheelchairs and living in a bed the rest of you life, just not going to be so great. Just ask someone in a wheelchar or bed how much they would love to have that mobility back.
My prayers for the family.
