Incident: I was climbing down the tree from my hunt. I was about 35 feet up I had made it all the way down to about 6 feet. When I heard a snap couldn't figure it out. So I continue to move downward not realizing the snap was the welds on the A-frame part of the stand causing the stand to the claps I fell to the ground. I have a bruised tailbone and a knot right above my buttocks. My back is very sore. After a couple minutes when I could get there by thought I looked over the stand and that's when I seen that the weld had broke.
