New hunter here. I am currently hunting out of a ground blind and have been very unsuccessful so I am starting to look at tree stands for next season. I am a bit confused about the safety harnesses. My understanding is these are similar in function to the harness that a rock climber might wear.
Well lets say the worst happens and the bottom of the stand fails or breaks, what now? I understand it keeps you from falling but I also know that any more than about 15 minutes hanging there will kill you as well. It just seems like the only way out would be cutting the harness and taking the fall anyway. Am I missing something here?
TIA
