Here's is a thought for all those who are quick to judge this unfortunate soul for this accident. How do you know that this feller wasn't a fellow YT cronie? He might be on here posting all the time, and in the midst of his recovery he might peruse these forums and find this thread. How do you think he would feel, in the midst of his grief and pain to see your reactions? I don't condone anybody putting children in harms way. But accidents happen. People have lapses in judgement. You can bet this old boy ain't ready to pass judgement on another man, cause it might be me next time.
I personally do allow my kids to have a short ride on the tractors from time to time. But I take a lot of time before, during and after explaining just how dangerous these machines are and do not allow ANY deviation from the strict rules. I agree that children have to be exposed to the machinery and be knowledgable about them so that in the event they are around someone else's machinery they know how to behave. You can't shelter a child from the world but you can teach them safety and responsibility and respect. Just my $.02.
