When should a hunter wear a fall-arrest system (FAS)?

  1. At all times while in a tree stand

  2. Only when climbing up or down a tree

  3. Whenever they feel unsafe

  4. Only if the tree stand is higher than 10 feet

The correct answer is: At all times while in a tree stand

A hunter should wear a fall-arrest system (FAS) at all times while in a tree stand to ensure their safety. Tree stand accidents are a common cause of hunting-related injuries and fatalities, often due to falls from the stand. By wearing a FAS constantly while in the tree stand, hunters reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a fall. It is crucial for hunters to prioritize their safety and always follow proper safety practices while hunting, including wearing appropriate safety gear like a fall-arrest system. While options B, C, and D may seem plausible, they do not provide the safest approach to tree stand safety. Wearing a FAS only when climbing up or down, whenever feeling unsafe, or based on the tree stand's height can leave hunters vulnerable to accidents and falls when in the tree stand. It is always better to err on the side of caution and wear the fall-arrest system continuously while in the tree stand to minimize risks.
