Concussion and 2 cracked vertebrae. He’s lucky he fell just right. Get well soon!

Yes, Ben is pushing 60. Let someone else do that shite. It’s a good way to paralyze yourself.

He's lucky. A 25 foot fall can very easily be deadly. Glad he's okay.

A golf buddy of mine fell out in 2004 or so. He still hunts but golf is over now.

Well, on the positive side, he just added another epic story to tell during games. Just glad he is ok. Love listening to him when he calls games.

This is scary stuff, I knew of a guy years ago that fell out of a deer stand and never walked again.

Either setting one up or more likely hog hunting

The guy in the video said they were moving the stand.

I wonder who is Dr is and if he’s gonna have to have surgery or let it heal on its own. I did the same from 16’ and broke my back 3 years ago. Under the guidance of a Dr Bowie at OLOL, I let it heal without surgery. I have no issues at all today and still climb to bow hunt and play golf. I was definitely one of the lucky ones!

Man thank goodness he's ok.
Ben's son should be moving the stands for his daddy from now on.
