"The United Safe States"--sounds like a utopian dream... no, wait... the other thing... nightmare!
My dad still laments the days when he could pull out a bench from the econoline van, throw a mattress down in the back, and toss 5 or 6 kids with blankets on top of it. The Missus, on the other hand, wishes that there were car seats to which we could attach the car seats we already own.
Like all things, I find myself somewhere in the middle--I miss the lawn darts of my childhood, but I don't want any embedded in my children
I knew there was someone out there doing this! Safe AND convenient--certainly nothing to apologize for (and you're getting dual use out of that winch )
No worries! You don't have to jump straight into Super Ultra-Safe. At 8,000 lbs your winch is at least Ultra-Safe--that's a great start

LOL, I really appreciate nutty people. I was picturing you with ruck sack and 2 6x6 Decking poles strapped to each side.
Need to hire a bunch of off-duty firemen to hold a net below you just in case of failure.

I like the idea! The decking posts could double for a makeshift stretcher (which I would need after I tried to carry them )
Just remember: Super Ultra-Safe hikers keep their off-duty firemen Super Ultra-Safe as well. They should have bouldering pads beneath them to protect them while they protect you.
Actually, my dad flew in the USAF and Air National Guard. I heard him tell stories of people working on the planes and accidentally triggering the eject lever--shot them right through the hanger... you don't walk away from that. I don't know if the stories were apocryphal or fact, but if I were to go the ejection seat route, I would make sure to have my posse of off-duty firemen saw off all the branches above me (and probably the ones a bit off to the side as well).
The idea is not without merit. Should you have a bear visit your camp, an ejection seat would certainly come in handy

I'm wearing a body condom right now. In fact, I'm double-bagged. I am Super Safe.
The condoms are also vapor barriers.
