Lee Eric Barr, 43, refused treatment after being assisted in the Starved Rock Nature Preserve.

Barr fell while adjusting his tree stand and his legs became caught in the stand.

Firefighters used a lift to pull Barr from the air.

Barr faces significant pain in one or both legs from the pinching effect from the stand.
