I found a website a while back that had summaries of agricultural accidents, state by state. I was amazed how many men in their 60's and 70's, faminers their whole lives, kill themselves on tractors. When I was growing up, I knew of three kids who rolled tractors. Two died, one got a broken leg. But they were around 12, and operating without much common sense or experience. I never heard of a grown man rolling a tractor back then. It only takes one bad decision, or a second of inattention to put one of these things on top of you. I think too many people associate low speed with increased safety. They just can't imagine a 35 HP slow moving tractor as being one of the most dangerous vehicles an inexperienced, unsuspecting person can operate. Like those jacked up SUV's and pickup trucks, tractors have a much more restrictive operating envelope than our trusty old family cars. If you don't respect that, they'll bite you. Gotta feel for that gent's family, such a shame. Reminders should always be appreciated. Thanks for passing this on, Andy.
