Did he fall out of the cab? Door open?

I wasn't at the scene. The Father was backing up to hook onto a wagon.

I think with anything it is up to the adult to take precautions. All the instructor seats I've seen have seat belts and you can lock the door to the cab. So how is this much different than a car/truck?

Well regardless of how it happened that is terrible, and something the father will have to live with for the rest of his life even if he took all safety measures. My heart goes out to the family.

That's horrible, those are the things I worry about.

Yesterday I had my boy with me on the tractor while cleaning up some rotted logs, I had him strapped onto me with a baby carrier so he couldn't jump around even if he tried.

It is a lot to worry about. I had some great times, that I wouldn't trade for anything, as a kid riding on the tractor with dad.
