Over the past several years, tree stand safety has become a priority in the hunting industry for obvious reasons. If you don't have a reliable safety harness, check out the new Gorilla Exo Tech. What separates this safety harness from others is its 30" tether. What I like about this tether is that it is shock absorbing. Most if not all other tree stand harnesses do not have this capability and therefore hunters who have fallen out of tree stands wearing other safety harnesses still come away with injuries from the arrest force or the force/jerk felt when your harness catches your body during the fall. Here's a great video from Gorilla describing how the shock absorbing tether can not only save your life but protect you from injuries from the arrest force.
