My name is Dr. Norman Wood of Mountaineer Sports LLC.  I would like to introduce to you what I call “The Missing Link In Tree Stand Safety”.  It is called the Tree Stand Safety Belt and it takes tree stand safety to the next level. It helps to ELIMINATE THE FALL, not react to one. 10 years ago I fell 20 feet, broke my pelvis in two places and broke my left arm.  I am lucky to be alive let alone walk.
 
I designed the Tree Stand Safety Belt to help ELIMINATE the fall and protect my children and myself. It is an absolute necessity for anyone who is using a tree stand especially those who are teaching a young person how to use a tree stand for the first time.  It alleviates many fears and gives a sense of security that you can't find with any other tree stand safety device.  When standing it helps to keep you from losing your balance, when seated you are securely held in that position.  It is NEVER to be used alone, it must always be used in conjunction with a full body fall restraint harness.  It is designed to help maintain your balance, not support your entire weight.  Once you have used the Tree Stand Safety Belt you won't feel secure without it, even with a full body fall restraint harness on.
