ASTM Treestand Fall Arrest System Standard Aims at Safety

摘要

FOR MANY SPORTSMEN, HUNTING IS a much anticipated event, and a tree-stand, ingeniously engineered to be strong, lightweight and portable, is a piece of equipment often used for deer hunting by those using bow and arrows or a gun. Hunters who use these compact tree-stands then benefit from a safety harness to prevent injury in case of a fall. Subcommittee F08.16 on Archery Products, a part of Committee F08 on Sports Equipment and Facilities, has focused on recreational full body harnesses in a new standard now available for purchase from ASTM: F 2337, Test Method for Treestand Fall Arrest System.
