I use the life lines with my hunters safety harness on all my locons. I use the same harness when using my climbing stands. I don't think I would bounce back from a fall now that I am older.

Most falls occur when climbing the tree and getting in and out of the stand. Be sure to keep yourself secured all the time either by a life line like 25contender mentioned or a linemans style harness.

Back when I first started bowhunting in the mid 80's I don't think there were any commercial safety harnesses available. Then when they did come out, they were just waist belts that guaranteed that you flipped upside down if you fell out of the stand. Now safety harnesses are comfortable and affordable, no excuses for not using one.
