Good question, I weigh 215ish and was just wearing hiking boots, hoodie, pants.Damn. How much weight you think was on the platform at the time?
It was tight, but not excessively tight.How tight was the strap when you were caming it
And point to the fact that a ROS is way betterUltimately those platforms are tree stand seats that are being adapted for platforms and not intended for that use and that camming action. There have been a handful of different breaks over the past couple years. This should be a good reminder to every to be extra safe when using them!
Mine broke in the exact same spot last year, just didn't shear all the way off. I think there's a post on here somewhere.That's the first one like that anyone has ever posted, hopefully the last.
