Another sad story and example as to why children and heavy equipment don't mix.

I sure don't understand why anyone would let a child ride on, or be around any kind of dangerous machinery.
I just don't get the tractor out of the barn when the grand kids are at the house.

Wow

I also did a dumb thing yesterday when I rode on a dozzer operated by a friend. I felt uneasy while I was on it and was happy to get off it when he stopped. It's so easy to fall onto the dozzer's tract.

That's why I posted the U-tube video of the girl that lost her leg?......SHOCK FACTOR.
Show it to those that don't understand the danger, hit them between the eyes with that ax handle!

wish I could convince my idiot brother that its a bad idea to ride his 5 year old on his lap on his ride on lawnmower. Love to see a link I could send him. The osha one didn't work.

Its a hard video to see. Now her farther has to see the results of his thoughtlessness the rest of his life. He also risks jail for child endangerment.

If all the arguments on this forum are any indication,..it seems you cannot convince some folk,..so all we can do is stand by and watch 'em kill or maim their kids.

I wonder how many learn by killing, (or maiming) "one" child,..or do they continue to argue that depending on the circumstances, ...it's quite safe?

I sure wouldn't want to be the one that has to live with the dreadfull screams and whats left of the kid for the rest of my life! But then again, ..perhaps it doesn't bother "such" people ???

Either way, it's a sad situation. Such a sweet little girl to have to endure such a tragedy,...God Bless her!

Tug, I've shown the video to a few people and left them visibly shaken. If that is what it takes, then that what it takes.
