Is the ROPS really needed?

[WaxMan]

More censorship. Great. That's just what this country needs. Can't let people decide for themselves. What's next, no more posts about starting a chainsaw without the brake engaged?

Pretty good DB,:thumbsup: you're getting better and on a roll.

Did you have anything to do with this commercial? You remind me of the guy who says hide behind the chain saws or you could be the puzzled guy with the chain saw. Either way the commercial is pretty funny. I'm in the process of trying to get this off TV because the chain saws shown do not have brakes.

You seem to take quite an interest in making sure everyone else is safe ... the main reason this thread continues!

We get your point of view ... just in case you don't think you've driven it home ... ad nauseum!

Are you campaigning for Chief of the Safety Police?

I haven't read 100% of the posts, but are highly in favor of them. I have four used mowers & three tractors. Only one tractor has ROPS & seatbelt. I can assure you the ROPS & belt will be staying.
I do see more people mowing with them folded down more than up on ztr's.
My neighbor was pinned between a tree branch & ROPS while bushoging where he couldn't reach pedals or shifter. He did get free after almost tearing canopy off. I've never seen him wear seatbelt.
Another person I knew of had ROPS up, seat belt on when he flipped ZTR over in pond. He died 2 days later. My stance is still leave them on w/seatbelt if they came with. And to add them if you can.

Waxman, You remind me of a politician crossbred with a lawyer.
Why is it you are always 'offline' when I go to converse with you, but magically a minute after I post,you have come 'online' and posted, then you are showing 'offline' again?
Another fear of yours? Seems small to me. Why don't you put on your big boy britches, and stay logged on?

I don't need to be online for you to post.
Your free to post at will. You don't need me to do that. Post away, I made my point , you make yours now.

Exactly what 'point' did you make? :zzz:

Rops are needed. Don't mess with them or people could die, it only takes 3 sec. or less

And your point was? Race cars or live to live, helmets or something, not really sure. You have the floor, go ahead make your points against Rops. Leave me out of it, make your point on your own.

Again, you are not capable of 'getting it'. By your own propaganda, motorcycle helmets are 'needed', yet my state doesn't mandate it, and we residents are happy, and alive. It's something called personal choice and freedom.
Something you don't understand, or believe in....

DB I can't keep trying to answer just you over and over again with the same answers over and over again. Go back 5 or six pages or more everything is answered about my position, selling tractors etc. for you. You just have to read it.

Just post what you think without using me as the subject or waiting for an answer from me . Say what you think on your own, or just PM me if you want to rehash everything. I'm not going to answer you online again.

People are getting tied of me making my point over and over again mostly just for you.
You have the floor just say what you want. But don't direct it to me, at some point you have to be on your own. I'm not going to counter anything you say, I already did.
So go ahead post all your thoughts.

People die all the time. It ain't like somebody just cut your head off. Wait....
