Tree Stand Safety: How to Avoid Tree Stand Hunting Accidents for Deer Hunters, Featuring Marty Prokop
Treestand hunting accidents are a threat to deer hunters and injuries can result from a fall from a treestand. So it is important for people who deer hunt to find info on treestand safety.
Rice Lake, WI, January 06, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Deer hunting accidents and injuries commonly involve the deer hunting tree stand. So deer hunting tree stand safety is important.
“I slipped while climbing into my deer hunting tree stand. I was wearing my wedding ring. The tree stand step caught my wedding ring. I dangled from my ring, which cut into my finger,” Marty Prokop of http://www.free-deer-hunting-tips.com recounts.
Marty Prokop continues, “I learned two valuable tree stand safety lessons. First make sure your deer hunting boots are as clean as possible when climbing into your tree stand. And the second tree stand safety lesson is to remove all jewelry from your fingers.”
Once in your deer hunting tree stand, remember to secure your tree stand safety belt or tree stand safety harness.
More Info on Tree Stand Safety for Deer Hunters from Marty Prokop
Marty Prokop says, “A deer hunting tree stand comes with a safety belt. I prefer to purchase a separate tree stand safety harness, which goes around the shoulder and waist. If I am wearing a safety belt which goes only around my waist, and I slip out of my stand, it will help me avoid a fall from a tree stand and a hunting accident.
“During a fall from a tree stand, a safety belt could also put a great deal of strain on vital organs around the waist. If I have the body and shoulder harness and take a fall from a tree stand, my weight is distributed across my shoulders and waist. I feel this reduces the risk of internal organ and muscle damage.”
Marty Prokop has actually tested this. He doesn’t advise this to others. Here is how Marty Prokop tested a safety belt versus a body and shoulder harness while in a deer hunting tree stand.
While holding onto tree branches around him, once wearing a tree stand waist safety belt and once wearing a tree stand body and shoulder harness, Marty Prokop stepped off his tree stand. He found the body and shoulder harness much more comfortable and supportive.
Marty Prokop said, “From personal experience I feel a body and shoulder harness would be the most effective way to prevent hunting accidents that result from a fall from a tree stand. A good safety harness is a wise investment.”
