@Razorbak66 question for you. Has this experience changed how you check your gear? What advise would you add to a newer saddle Hunter like me to make sure I check certain things maybe you over looked? I hear check your gear often. But it's kinda a general statement.
I am definitely going to look at the stitching on my platforms straps closer now. It's pretty easy to check my ropes on my sticks as I pull them out. I will definitely look at the stitching on my tethers even closer. If those were to pull apart. Yikes. One less saddle Hunter. Check my carbines for cracks or missing paint. I want to learn from what happened to you, to make sure it dosent happen to me. Hopefully someone else reads this an makes them check there gear even close than before and saves this from happening.
how hard was the impact to your saddle? Manufacture recommends you replace it after a hard fall if I recall.
