That's the second time I've heard of tree steps failing.

I told Danny all those folding steps would make dandy bow hangers.  ;-)

Man, That's a bad gash, buddy - but you are right, it could have been so much worse. I hate screw in steps, they scare the crap out of me, to put it bluntly. I try very hard to never find myself in a position to have to use them. Heal quickly, Danny - and be extra careful - that are may be weak for awhile.

This is a good lesson for all. Too bad it takes something like this to see it. Hope you heal up OK with no problems... Mountain

glad you are ok.As already stated this could have ended very badly.I've seen people die from that wound.(brachial artery and some important nerves live a few inches from that wound.)A tourniquet is not very effective at that level.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth,but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

OUCH!!!    :eek:    Hope there's not any permanent damage!? Things like that remind me why I'm scared of heights!   :scared:
