Our community here in central KY had a couple of terrible accidents in the last few days. On Saturday a 21-year old guy who was newly wed and had just got back from his honeymoon decided to go out a run the bush hog. Some how, which is unknown exactly, he fell off the tractor and was run over and killed. Just absolutely terrible.
Then last night an older guy rolled his tractor and was pinned under it. Due to the rural nature of the location a medical helicopter was dispatched and they flew him to an area hospital breathing but unresponsive.
Accidents sometimes happen, but guys we have to stop being macho-men and stop thinking it'll never happen to us. These tractor incidents can almost always be avoided. Respect inclines, wear the seat belt, and keep the ROPS up.
