Treestand warranty

Looks like lightning strick.

It's possible. A section of the tree right below the break is pretty darkened. It actually looks healthy at the break point, just above that. Hard to know exactly what happened. So windy this past week, it may have been hit in an earlier storm and the wind finished it off. We've got big trees down everywhere on the property, including some moster big oaks.
 
Turning lemons into lemonade, fallen tree stand edition:

Cut up the tree a few of weeks ago, finally got around to cutting up the stand yesterday. Realized I had what I needed in usable parts to weld up a "clays" style front basket for my golf cart. Added a couple of angle iron pieces for brackets, burned through some 7018 and 6013 welding rods, added some 2X Rustoleum flat black (great paint, BTW), and came up with this.

Good rainy day / garage project.
