I have lost count of the times I should have been killed. Here are few of the highlights. LOL
1) I got kicked right square on the forehead by a 500 lbs. calf. I was knocked out cold. The force of the blow cracked my skull. I was loopy for a few weeks over that one. Doc said I was lucky in that if the blow had been a little off center I would have been dead.
2) Fell off a grain bin roof when the handle on the roof pulled out of the THIN TIN!!! Landed in a snow drift and just was bruised up for a few days. GSI grain bins are JUNK!!!!!
3) I was running a bush hog when it started to really vibrate hard. I shut the PTO off and it was still coasting as I stepped down off the tractor. The loose blade that was causing the vibration came off and hit me in my left knee cap. It shattered the knee cap and drove the pieces back into the joint. I have had five different surgeries on than knee in the last 25 years.
4)I had my ribs busted up pretty good with a steer slamming me into a feed bunk. That actually was the most painful recovery I have ever had. That was 35 years ago and I still will get a sharp pain some times when I lift something heavy. The funny thing was that the steer did not weight much over 600-700 lbs. but he had me right against a concrete bunk that had no give at all.
Those are the more serious ones. I have had some many "small" injuries that I forget most of them.
