TreeStand Wingman- a fall restraint descender system that prevents impact injuries and orthostatic injuries caused by hanging in a full body harness.
Wayne was working on a prototype for a new treestand when he began to look at what type of harnesses would be sold with the stands and began looking at statistics about injuries and deaths from treestand falls and those who died from hanging in a harness. Over a period of time he came up with the TreeStand Wingman- a fall restraint descender system that prevents impact injuries and orthostatic injuries caused by hanging in a full body harness.
