Full Body Harness Safety Warnings
ALWAYS
read and understand the manufacturer’s warnings, expiration date, and instructions on how to use and properly adjust the harness.
PRACTICE
using the full body harness at ground level in the presence of a responsible adult to experience the feeling of hanging suspended
before using it in a hunting environment.
The length of the harness tether
MUST
be minimized at all times. It should be adjusted so that it is above the head with no slack while the
hunter is in the sitting position and you should have the minimum amount of slack while climbing.
NEVER
allow the tether strap to get under your chin or around your neck.
Failure to follow the harness instructions could result in not being able to return to the stand and being suspended in a harness after a fall. If
the hunting location is unknown by anyone and communication efforts are unsuccessful, you must have a personal plan for recovery/escape
because prolonged suspension in a harness can be fatal. It is important to exercise the legs by pushing against the tree or doing other forms
of continuous leg exercises to avoid blood pooling while being suspended. Hunters with varying degrees of physical fitness may require
different plans to recover/escape the effects of prolonged suspension. Have a personal plan and practice it in the presence of a responsible
adult before leaving the ground. No one escape/rescue plan will work for every hunter on every tree in every circumstance. Only you can
determine the best recovery/escape plan for your situation before leaving the ground.
A suspension relief device
MUST
be on your person and readily accessible while using a harness. These devices will allow the user to
relieve the load on the lower extremities if suspended in a harness and help maintain circulation in the legs, mitigate suspension trauma
(blood pooling) or allow descent to the ground. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions on the safe use of any suspension relief
device.
Several optional products/systems are available that offer self-recovery or self extraction from a fall when suspended in a harness. Some
systems automatically descend the user, while others allow user control. One of these products/systems can be considered for use as an
additional safety precaution against prolonged suspension and suspension trauma. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions on safe
use of these products/systems.
Hunt from the ground when self-recovery/escape ability is absent.
