Very sobering.
Something to keep in mind when thinking about skipping safety procedures.
Thanks for posting this.

My father was killed just checking out a new tractor on my uncle's farm in 1959. A steering pin broke and he overturned into a ditch.

When I was nine, I was trapped between a barn door and the barn by a crazed momma sow that was intent on killing me. Somehow I slipped between two gate rails and escaped. When I was eleven or so, I was reaching into a grain auger trailer and got my sleeve caught. Luckily, my uncle pealed me out of my coat before it sucked me in. Looking back at it, I guess I was a lucky kid.

Just last year, I was trying to free a stuck QA handle with a cheater pipe. The pipe slipped and the back of my hand struck the corner of the QA plate, doing pretty good damage down into the places that you're not supposed to see in your body. I still have a problem using my thumb on that hand.

Be careful out there!

Thanks for posting that. It's good to be reminded how quickly a program can go south.

I have survived so many stupid stunts on the farm, with horses, cows, dirt bikes, street bikes, trucks and muscle cars ... it's dumb luck and the grace of God I ever made it to adulthood. Now that I'm old, and miraculously still intact, I tend to be over-cautious. I figure at this point I've used up 8.5 of my 9 lives. :ashamed:

At the age of 57...with a two year old son (my first boy)...and watching the stuff he does, I'm surprised there are any males living after the age of ten!
