Newmyer believes his accident was avoidable and hopes others can benefit from his mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newmyer fell out of a tree hunting in Michigan in 2007. The fall paralyzed him from the waist down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We were just going back out to take our stands down, and I was coming back down out of a tree,&#8221; he told <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the local ABC news (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wzzm13.com\/article\/news\/local\/muskegon\/paralyzed-hunter-geoff-newmyer\/69-f2d13bce-8542-4dc9-b68b-dfe1107e2010\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-paralyzed-michigan-hunter-safety-practices\" title=\"Paralyzed Michigan Hunter Pushes for Safety and Good Practices\" target=\"_blank\">the local ABC news<\/a> affiliate. &#8220;A branch broke, and I fell  from there about 12 to 15 feet.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I knew right away that I really screwed up my back. My legs went numb. I couldn&#8217;t feel &#8217;em. I couldn&#8217;t move. I tried to get up,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newmyer was taken to the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids. According to the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Jakubowski, the hospital sees about 10 people a year for similar falling injuries incurred while hunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re injuries that occur in people who are vigorous, healthy outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen, and they&#8217;re life-changing,&#8221; Jakubowski said. &#8220;There are almost always permanent aspects of the injury, even in the people who have some sparing and are able to walk on their own.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" title=\"Paralyzed Michigan Hunter Pushes for Safety and Good Practices\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmyer-2.jpg\" alt=\"Paralyzed Michigan Hunter Pushes for Safety and Good Practices\" class=\"wp-image-117896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmyer-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmyer-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmyer-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmyer-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>He continues to hunt and has taught hunter safety for the last 11 years.<em> (Photo: Fox)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you were to fall with a full body harness and a LifeLine, you&#8217;re connected to the rope,&#8221; Newmyer said. He teaches hunter education courses through the local police department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I really enjoy doing it. We do two classes a year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They put me on that tree stand safety station.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so easy, especially this day in life, to be in a hurry. And this is, this is stuff that takes a little extra time. It takes a little extra money, but I always explain to &#8217;em. It&#8217;s a lot easier spending a  little time, a little extra money than it does living in a wheelchair,&#8221; said Newmyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If people [can be] 90 percent safe, with a little thought, you can be virtually 100 percent safe in this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not hard to do. You  just can&#8217;t take anything for granted.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-four-hunters-montana-grizzly-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-paralyzed-michigan-hunter-safety-practices\" title=\"Paralyzed Michigan Hunter Pushes for Safety and Good Practices\">Four Hunters in Montana Mauled by Grizzly Bear in Three Attacks<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I live every day as if I&#8217;m going to walk again, so that&#8217;s what keeps me going,&#8221; he added.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s work man,&#8221; he told Fox News West Michigan. &#8220;They want to get you up and movin&#8217;, and they want to get you back to where life&#8217;s going to begin again. With me, it was going to be learning how to live out of a wheelchair,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newmyer married one year following his accident and he and his wife have two children. He runs an off-road wheelchair company part-time and keeps his lights on with his own plumbing company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
