If you use the pull till it breaks to get down method - you will essentially have a bow and arrow aimed directly at you and when it breaks and accelerates at you at a couple hundred feet per second - it could seriously injure you. Instead pull with your rope diverted to the side of you by having the rope going just a bit around another tree near the line of fire so when it breaks it will be aimed at said tree.

I suppose I should have capitalized this - doing this could save your life or eyes.
