One more VERY good reason to ensure someone knows where you are and when to expect you while you're working.

The page probably expired - items on those "News" links generally have a pretty short half-life.
As I recall, the article was about a gentleman mowing an inclined area with some type of riding mower/tractor. It rolled and pinned him such that he couldn't get out from under it. He was there for some time before expiring as evidenced by failed attempts to disassemble portions of the mower and free himself.

I recall the same story. About 2 months ago or so.

Jazzdad, instead of killing power, how 'bout sounding a horn or beeper ?
Yes, it was yet another story of a rollover. So many of us work on larger equipment, yet a riding mower is enough to kill when it's sitting on your chest.
We say it constantly: be careful. Don't get complacent. Don't work when you're tired. If it's not possible to have someone watch you, let them know where you are, and when to expect you back. Follow the manufacturer's safety manual. Don't remove safety devices. The list could go on, and on. But because the list is long, don't ignore it and hence, shorten your life.
