I am very glad you are OK...even using a harness a person can be severely injured or killed in a fall. In fact, it is not unheard of for a person to suffocate while hanging in a chest harness.
In a previous life I was a game warden. One evening I was conducting a public hearing about deer hunting regulations. At one point I asked how many people attending the hearing used tree stands, and about 30 hands went up. Then I asked how many of them had fallen from a tree stand...and about 25 hands went up.
The other 5 were apparently waiting their turn. I'm a chicken, and like a chicken, I don't fly very well no matter how hard I flap my wings. So I stay on the ground...with the other chickens.
