Most dangerous thing i can think of is me at one time. I'm older and hopefully wiser now but I had some very close calls. Scariest one involved both my kids. Son was about 6 or 7 and rode with me to the field. Sit on my lap and steer. He was finally tall enough to reach the pedals if he stood at the very front of the seat. We came back from the field and pulled into the drive, not fast. I told him to push in the clutch and break and he did. Just then my daughter (2 years younger) came running up to the tractor right infront of the rear wheel. Well the son must of figured the tractor was stopped or probably just didn't know any better and took his foot off the clutch. The tractor jumped forward and the rear wheel knocked my daughter backwards right in front of the wheel. I don't know how i did it so fast but I slammed the break and stalled the tractor before the wheel ran over her. Probably the worst and the luckiet moment of my life. Kids didn't ride on the tractors much after that and I think I got a little smarter and grayer. Anyway both kids are successful adults now (29 / 27) and I didn't try to kill them too many more times. They were luckier than I was smart. Still gives me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Can't tell me there are not guardian angels out there.

ps maybe someday I'll tell about the kids and the runaway truck another dumb dad move.
