[QUOTE="DixieCrafter, post: 3574358, member: 12261"] Statistically the climbing stand is the safest stand to use (as long as you are tied in as you climb) according to the TMA studies. I use them all! Hang-ons are perhaps the most universal in application because you can put them almost anywhere! I have several of the Gorilla brand treestands in use with Summit Bucksteps, which are similar to Rapid Rails and such. Once I have the hang on stand hung, I always lock it down with an accessory ratchet strap. I have made several 30 ft. life lines that I use with each hang on stand. With the life line in place I am secured by my harness tether for the climb up or down. Once I'm in the stand I transfer my safety carabiner to a shorter safety rope that remains in each tree. Ladder stands work great! They can be heavy and cumbersome to get into place, and a little hard to put into place. They also give some folks a false sense of security and they don't use a safety harness. Ladder stand can also be a hard to bowhunt from. One plus that the ladder stands have going for them is easy up and down quietly! [/QUOTE]
