[QUOTE="texsalerno, post: 1338025, member: 101512"] I was carrying treelounge and backpack on my back,carrying 243 in my arms. I went to cross a dead tree.Treelounge caught a tree branch catapulting me forward.Lost my footing and fell between the tree limbs catching my left elbow in the crotch of two limbs.Immediately i said to myself i have just broken my arm. I walked to a tree stump back toward my truck, where i have hunted from in the past. Took off the treelounge and backpack + my hunting jacket.I put my feet up on top of the tree stump treated myself for shock.After about 25-30 minutes. I was really cold.Put my hunting jacket back on picked up my back pack and rifle headed for my truck.Found that carrying the backpack in the hand of the injured arm actually made it feel better.Half an hour later at my truck i found it very difficult to close the door.No way to use a safety belt.Drove home.My girlfriend drove me to emergency room.X-rays negative.MRI tore my tricep completely away from the joint at the elbow. After surgery, 6 weeks in a cast and 5 weeks of therapy almost new. Discovered my 3x9x40 scope was damaged internally and had to be replaced wasn't repairable like my tricep. [/QUOTE]
