[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1558991, member: 99718"] You lucked out having that sling catch too ! It happens, sometimes the results are deadly though when the firearm discharges and strikes someone ! That happens too, but I thank God that no one in my family ever had an accidental discharge ! Would scare a person stiff even if no one was hit ! As said earlier we have to be as safe as possible while handling firearms and archery equipment ! I always keep both hands on my firearm when going down a hill if possible, going up hill I usually have the sling over my shoulder ! I have slipped on small limbs laying on the ground just under the snow, my foot slid down the length of it and around and down I went ! Laying on the ground I realized that I was holding my Remington 700 tightly and safely with both hands ! I was pleased to know that my instincts of safely securing my rifle in a fall kicked in ! I have done the same thing coming down hills holding my rifle with two hands and slipping and letting my body take the punishment to protect and keep the rifle safely above ! If it is real steep I put the sling over one shoulder and try to dig my feet in and hold on to something with one hand as I come down the hill ! I have unloaded my rifle already thinking I was going to be sliding part way down a hill ! We can never be too careful with weapons ! [/QUOTE]
