    As to why the injured man had been up in a tree; Cocaine is one hell of drug, as shared by Rick James on the Dave Chappell Show not very long before he passed away.
To: Bonemaker
    What is a 37 year old man doing climbing a tree in the woods alone?

    I think they were hedging their bets, aware that a cry for help could be a lure to trap one of them into a rape-y situation or some such.

    A guy calling for help in the woods sounds like a rape trap to me.

    Maybe he had some good binoculars and was scoping out a sorority house? Wonder if his Dockers were at his ankles when they found him on the Vlad the Impaler device?

    They were girls. Smart decision.

YES. Once in the woods, if the man was a rapist, the girls would have been easy prey.

    Guess that answers the age old question: If a man falls from on a tree in the woods and there’s no one around, does he make a sound?

    Again, misleading hypothesis. Check your post.

    Can a group of four be alone?
 
To: Bonemaker
    While I completely agree with most of the others on this thread (the girls were right to avoid the apparent or even possible ambush and summon men for help), you might like this thread.

It was not his lucky day, because I just decided it was not going to happen, the woman, who said she was a former member of the Israeli military, told the local ABC affiliate afterward.
Yes!

    Close to home. Almost happened to me recently when trimming branches. I was standing on the ground but had to quickly back up, and stumbled and fell on the ground. Nothing wrong yet, ground was soft and I knew that may fall, so I was ready. But then I looked next to me to the left and saw a large branch with a sub-branch mostly removed - the remaining stub looked like a 6” dagger sticking straight up. Missed it by that much. That was a BIG lesson learned.

    The "Brave Sir Robin" generation. They made the correct decision.

It was three women. They did the right thing being careful.
They could have being lured in
