My hunting partner had a cable break on one of our lock on stands last year. He was wearing a harness and was tied in but fortunately the other cable held and he didn't have to rely on it.
I'm very good about wearing a harness but we only have life lines on a few trees. We try to clip in before leaving the ladder/steps and putting our weight on the platform of the stand. We've had the conversation about starting to incorporate more blinds and fewer stands in our approach. We aren't the tree climbing spring chickens we once were.
