Hunting accidents can and do happen — and they can have tragic consequences. Safety awareness is an essential part of hunting. As a hunter, knowing common hunting accident injuries helps you avoid circumstances that lead to hunting injuries. Even seasoned hunters may be surprised by the most frequent cause of hunting accident injuries.

Hunting Accidents Involving Guns

When someone says “hunting accident,” gunshot injuries are usually the first thing that comes to mind. Hunting gun accidents happen for many different reasons, including:

Judgment mistakes of hunters

Safety rule violations

Lack of education, practice, and control

Mechanical failure

Judgment mistakes often cause the most serious hunting accidents. Failure to identify the target is the most frequent cause of gunshot hunting injuries. Sometimes, the victim may even be out of sight of the shooter. Accidents and mistakes also occur when a hunter swings on game, moving the gun or bow toward the target rather than holding still and waiting for the game to move into sight. Careless handling of guns also causes injuries, often to the hunter himself or herself. Gun experts maintain that most firearm injuries result from pointing a gun in an unsafe direction. They advise knowing where the muzzle is at all times. Diverting your attention even for a split second can have terrible consequences. Proper training and education (required for Virginia hunters between the ages of 12 and 15), as well as practice shooting and handling firearms is the best ways to avoid weapon accidents. Constant vigilance while hunting is always essential as well.

Tree Stand Accidents Cause Most Hunting Injuries

While accidental shootings are often associated with hunting accidents, the most common cause of hunting injuries is not gun-related. According to national statistics, tree stand injuries and fatalities far outnumber hunting injuries from guns. Tree stand accidents can be fatal. Victims who survive can end up permanently disabled. A tree stand typically sits 10 to 30 feet above the ground. Any fall from that height is dangerous. Injuries often include spinal cord or brain damage. The remote location of many tree stands complicates discovery of and prompt treatment for tree stand accident victims. Basic tree stand safety requires wearing a full body harness and using it properly. While this safety measure could prevent many accidents, statistics indicate that 85% of tree stand injuries occur to hunters who do not use a harness. An even higher 90% of deaths from tree stand accidents occur to hunters not wearing a harness. About 40% of tree stand falls occur from the platform itself. Roughly an equal number (23% and 22% respectively) occur while the hunter is ascending or descending the stand, accounting for half of all stand accidents.

Story

A baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) live next door to a wicked witch (Meryl Streep). As a result of being wronged by the baker’s father years earlier (he stole magic beans from the witch’s garden) the witch has been cursed to look like a crone. In revenge for being wronged, the witch abducted the baker’s infant sister Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) and placed a ‘blue moon curse’ on the baker causing him to be sterile. Fortunately, the curse on both the wicked witch and the baker can be lifted if the baker and his wife go into the woods and retrieve for the witch four very specific items. These are a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, a slipper as pure as gold, and hair as yellow as corn. This has to be done before the moon turns blue in three days’ time. During their three day search of the woods the baker and his wife encounter several characters from fairy tales, all of whom are engaged on their own missions. These include a young farm boy named Jack (Daniel Hutt Lestone) out to sell his cow; Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) running from her Prince Charming (Chris Pine); Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), who forgetting her mother’s advice runs afoul of the Big Bad Wolf (Johnny Depp). Meanwhile, the tower-bound Rapunzel is being wooed by Prince Charming’s equally charming brother (Billy Magnussen). Into the Woods sees the baker and his wife overcoming difficulties as they seek out each of the items on the witch’s list, with the end of the film leading to unexpected consequences for all of the film’s characters.
