[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4546434, member: 1409"] Mike, I did that (and worse) in my younger days, and have some scars to prove it. But you're too old now not to be fully safe :) When initially placing a hang-on, I wear 2 lineman's belts (so one is attached going around limbs). It's really not that bad, and doesn't slow you down much. After your stand is placed and you can place your safety rope, you no longer use the lineman's belts (just the safety rope connected to your harness). Worse fall I ever had (over 20 feet) was when one of my steps simply broke. I was very experienced with hang-on stands, being very careful, there was no "user error" other than I wasn't wearing a safety harness before getting in the stand. The next to the top step simply broke and I went airborne. [/QUOTE]
