THIS is why you should always double check your tree stand!

When you’re suspended up in the air with only a little metal rigging between you and the ground, it’s important to remember to check your equipment twice. You don’t want to be many feet up the side of a tree, taking aim a 10-pointer, only to suddenly plummet to the ground like this kid. Thankfully, he was only a few feet up, but if it had been the real deal, things could’ve turned out a whole lot worse.
