Wow! Those numbers are extreme! Stu, sorry if I sound skeptical, but are you sure of those stats? Whether entirely accurate or not, I know tree stands can be very dangerous. I had never thought about the suffocation aspect. Have you heard of anyone suggesting keeping a knife handy in case you can't climb back up? Cutting the harness and falling is risky, but it's better than knowing you're going to die. Or not? I think I'd chance a 15 ft. drop rather than pass out and die. Just a couple thoughts, not meant to start any heat.
