Chapter 1, Problem 1.10D

(choose chapter or problem)

A single pole hunting stand is supported on a vertical pole and stabilized using at least three guy wires. The guy wires can be attached to stakes that are placed in the ground or attached to surrounding objects such as rocks, trees, or roots. The single pole configuration allows erection on varied terrain with or without attaching to trees. The single pole hunting stand provides an unobstructed \(360^{\circ}\) field of view and complete rotational freedom of movement via a swivel seat that is attached to the top of the pole. The swivel seat with backrest may be elevated to the desired height by changing the length of the pole. The pole is equipped with steps that allow for access to the swivel chair without having to adjust or move the stand. The single pole device does not require attachment directly to a single tree or require climbing a tree for access or egress. The single pole may be collapsed or disassembled to create a shorter length; the swivel chair detached; and the guy wires coiled to allow compact packaging and shipment, assembly, easy movement and storage. Based on a study of the single pole hunting stand as described, review the design of the single pole hunting stand and address the question as to whether the single-pole hunting stand is a “reasonable safe design” using the following categories:

(a) The usefulness and desirability of the product.

(b) The availability of other and safer products to meet the same or similar needs.

(c) The likelihood of injury and its probable seriousness.

(d) The obviousness of the danger.

(e) Common knowledge and normal public expectation of the danger (particularly for established products).

(f) The avoidability of injury by care in use of the product (including the effect of instructions and warnings).

(g) The ability to eliminate the danger without seriously impairing the usefulness of the product or making it unduly expensive.

For reference, see Sides et al., 4,674.598.
