Was getting my stands down from the place we lost and when I undone the rachet strap at the top of the stand the stand shot out, I hung on for dear life but their ain't many stands that will hold my 300 pounds while bending back. The top 5 foot section bent to a 90 degree angle and that threw the seat and foot rest off which I was hanging on to. 15 feet later I hit the ground on the left side of my back. Somehow I got right back up and besides some bruises I seem to be ok.. The only thing is even though I landed on my left side, my right shoulded and upper arm is giving me some trouble. Could have been alot worse though.

Glad you are ok, it could have been a lot worse, trust me. I fell 25 feet a couple weeks back and broke my pelvis. Hope you feel better in the coming days.

I fell about 20 foot or a little more when I was probably 15 from a stand. It's not any fun.
Glad you're OK.

I know you couldn't help it in your situation, but that is the reason I just leave my ladder stands up all year.
