It is a scary thought, falling while hunTing. I try to do more than I actually think I need when it comes to tying off . One thing that scares me (about screw in steps especially) is what happens if I were to fall and slam into them when my tether or safety rope catches me and prevents the fall to the ground. Impaled on a step? Not a pretty thought, and such a fall even with safety rope would likely result in a serious cut. Be careful out there and use your head.kenn1320 said:DaveT1963 said:Actually the BD BOD does have a rated loop in back - I guess I could add a couple other loops on sides with tubular webbing? I was actually thinking about getting one but still not sure I will need it? I suppose a bridge, tether or carbineer could give out and they second connection would stop you from falling but has anyone actually ever heard of a well maintained bridge, tether, carbineer giving out? I never have my full body weight on it as I lean but do not sit in my saddle.
This guy never heard of a harness/linemans belt letting go, but one of his metal D rings decided it had enough that day.
