[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 3380049, member: 1827"] Twice. Leaned out to shoot behind my tree at a hog and my foot slipped. When my harness stopped my fall, I was basically head down below horizontal balanced across the top bar of my climber. If my harness hadn't stopped me, I would have done a head plant into the ground from about 20+ feet up. I now shimmy my attachment point higher up the tree so if I ever slip, there wont be as much travel before the harness catches me. Second time, I had a genius idea of climbing a tree with a big bole/knot on the side. Got the top part of the climber over ok. Some how wound up hanging from my harness with one foot tangled in the bottom of my climber and the whole shebang cockeyed and trying to fall off the tree. Pulled a groin muscle getting the bottom part of the climber back on the tree and spend the rest of the hunt cringing every time I moved. Climbing down was fun too. I won't leave the ground without a safety harness and I thank god the friend who got me into hunting hammered safety into my little noggin. [/QUOTE]
