Editorial Note: This study suggests that farm-tractor associated deaths are more likely to occur during the planting and harvesting seasons and during late afternoon hours, that accidents are more prevalent in north Georgia, and that older males are the most common victims.
YA THINK??? Since that is the very time on most farms that tractors are used the most......and we send our kids to college to learn to put out drivel like this?????

They also noted that NONE of the farm tractor related deaths occured in a city.
So it must be much safer to operate a farm tractor in a city than in a rural area.

The stills are mainly up north but the shine is evenly distributed through out the state thank goodness. The reason that most of the accidents are older men is obvious the younger men won't work it is really hard to get hurt in a video game crash.

But the peak time is 4-5pm. Isn't that when most of the older folks are at Luby's?

Also.. the years between 1971 and 1981 were before ROPS were part of every new tractor sold.. Where's the info from 1991 to 2001?
BTW thank you Paul, for posting these safety related links you find. Nothing wrong with reminding me (us) to stay safe and stay alive.

These are good reminders and safety is a section I check the most. Thanks Paul!! Occasionally, poking a little fun is a stress reliever.
Im surprised that no one commented on the fact that the release originates from the CDC (Center for Disease Control)
I didnt know that farm tractors were a disease??
I just thought I obsessed over my Yanmar!
