Hi
Last Thursday night while hanging a stand my foot slipped off of my 3rd step while installing my 5th step. I was only 30 inches off the ground. I had my linesman strap but not using it yet. I caught the 4th step in the arm pit on my way to the ground..OUCH. No other injuries. I did the Fred Flintstone dance for awhile and I finished putting the stand up.
There are about a zillion ways this slip could have been worse...
BBBIIGG IIMMAAGGEE!!!!!!!
nice rainbow....Good that you didn't hurt your self more!!
Be careful.
Nasty bruise. Glad it wasn't something...err...more delicate.
Eeewwwww!! :eek:
And I'm not talking about the bruise!! :biglaugh:
Seriously, glad you're going to be ok. Like you say, it could have been so much worse..
Yikes. Glad that's all that happened. No fun.
Good thing you didn't hook the giblets!
Yeowch! Glad your hide is only discolored but still intact. :archer:
Sure glad to learn that you are OK Joe!
That could have had a much worse outcome....
Time to give THANKS! Amen.
Keep the wind in your face!
Shoot straight, Shinken
:archer2:
Glad your OK, Scary how fast things happen!
Glad you ok Joe.
yuck,that cant feel good.
Dang!
That's exactly why I switched to Rapid Rails and sticks as soon as they came around! Glad for you it wasn't worse Joe
I didn't see the picture but I am sure it wasn't pretty.
I hope and pray that you heal up without any residual problems.
I found a cure(almost) for that kind of injury years ago.
I try my best to keep both feet on the ground.
( as I typed this last sentence the memory of me laying on my back flashed back in my mind.)
I was walking out one evening with my Pacseat on my back, I tried to walk across a mostly dry creek bed over a pile of drift wood. My foot slipped and I ended up on my back like a turtle. I was kind of stuck for awhile as I couldn't sit up or turn over. After a bit of struggling I laid back and enjoyed the humor of the situation.
I'm glad you weren't hurt any worse.
God bless,Mudd
I don't use those screw in steps anymore just for that same reason. I took one in the thigh one time.... and yes it went into my leg. Lucky I had a good strap and a hand hold. Those things are sharp and will go right in with enough force.
I hunted in a ground blind the rest of the season.
OUCH!
