STEPS TO FOLLOW IF A FALL WAS TO OCCUR:
Although nobody plans to fall from their treestand, falls can and do occur
without warning. It is important to become familiar with the guidelines below
and practice your recovery plan on ground level. Failure to read, understand,
and follow these steps may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! There is time to make a correct decision on what action to
take if a fall occurs while wearing a full body harness. It is important NOT TO
PANIC! Remain calm and implement our practiced rescue, relieve and recovery
plan. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! A suspension relief device must be on your person and
readily accessible while using a harness. This device will allow you to relieve
the load on the lower extremities if suspended in a harness and help
maintain circulation in the legs and prevent suspension trauma (blood
pooling). Follow all instructions below regarding the provided SRD
(Suspension Relief Device) and NEVER remove it from your safety harness.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death!
STEP 1: After a fall, take a moment to catch your breath and stay calm, DO NOT PANIC.
STEP 2: Use your personal locating device or cell phone to call for help.
STEP 3: Pull on the SRD strap located on the lower back side of your harness. (see fig. 9)
STEP 4: Adjust the SRD strap so that you are able to step into the loop and then
stand up relieving the pressure on your lower extremities. The loop size can be
adjusted by moving the buckle up or down. (see fig. 10 & 11)
STEP 5: If you are able to reach your ladder or climbing system, use it to get back
into your secured treestand and then carefully climb down to ground level. If you
are not able to reach your stand, remain calm and continue to stand in the SRD loop
until help arrives. (see fig. 12)
