[QUOTE="13pt, post: 5280006, member: 19602"] Well I started hunting 46 years ago, so literally lmao this reading your entire story. Had the exact same stand kick out from under me about 20-25 ft high in Catoosa WMA one day. Actually my brother and I was scouting for the upcoming hunt and I was gonna leave my stand there for the beginning of the hunt the next day. I just wanted to climb it in the daylight to see what I could see. Just as I reached where I was going, the platform kicked out and I had just let go of the climber, so straight down I went at warp speed on a rough bark Chestnut Oak…with short sleeves on! Ripped all the skin off and both forearms as my instinct tried to stop the fall. When I came to my senses and realized what happened my brother was laying on the ground laughing so hard he was tearing up. It hurt really bad for a while but healed up eventually. Not as traumatic as your experience, but so similar I had to share it. You’re so right, how did so many more hunters not injure themselves using them old Baker climbing stands! [/QUOTE]
