Many yrs ago when tree stands wrer just coming in I built one ion a tree, not a store bought one.
Some mornings later I climbed the ladder, threw my rt hand up onto the seat, released my lt hand and the right one slid off on th e frost.
Down I went onto my back. Was about 15'. Luckily there were no projections there. I was unhurt.
I had cut a small pine 1" diameter about 6' farther away, 1 foot high stump. Had I landed on that it would have all been different.
