No offence to any farmers here as this is a general observation and not directed at any one person. I am also very sadden for the families involved in the 2 related stories.
BUT............
After reading "I saw the ambulance and fire truck" and "Another farmer in a hurry is dead" that are only 3 post apart and seeing many such stories on this forum often; I got to thinking.
1) 90% of the general public are idiots when it comes to safety around machinery; Farmers are made up of the general public; So a high percentage of farmers are most likely idiots also.
2) We see safety guards on all kinds of machinery; ie; belt guards. We even see safety devices on every riding lawnmower to where if you get out of the seat without turning off the pto/blades; and set the brakes; the mower kills.
So why are we not seeing safety devices to where if you get out of the seat of a tractor or combine without locking it down it kills the engine?
These are really tragic events; but really; my 3 year old grandson knows better that to stick his hand in a fire; you would think grown men would know better than to stick their hands into or work in close proximity to moving machinery.
