    Made Oct 26, 2016, sent to the company Nov 3, 2016, published by CPSC Nov 18, 2016

    The product, in the report: Sniper tree stand Model STLS40 Two person ladder stand.

    While setting up new Sniper Tree Stand Model STLS40 following instructions the stand collapsed under my weight as I tried to attach the provided ratchet strap. The stabilizer bar broke at the weld causing the ladder to bend and then fall with me on it. This resulted in my left ring finger being partially amputated and severely injuring my left ankle and braking bones in my foot. Also had bruising on my left shoulder, hip and knee.
