To make this story even worst, the couple were newly weds and Bourland was showing his new wife how to use the equipment. So please everyone, learn from this story to fully train people that are going to use equipment and do it in a safer enviorment then at 8:30 at night and never put yourself in the path or area of said equipment without shuting it down to do your deeds. Sad story, but hope someone will benifit from it. Concerned resident of Clarksville AR.! orehcnar@yahoo.com /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
