Yes accidents and especially farm accidents are very common. As one guy once said,"Accidents don't happen, they're caused". So true! On Monday I was about to load my AC 650 Quad onto my pickup using 7 foot arched ramps. The end of the ramps were against the tailgate, I kicked the bottom secure into the ground, all was well so I thought. As the front wheels came onto the tailgate, one ear on the left ramp buckeled, the right ramp followed suit, down I went holding onto the handle bars with the Quad about to flip over. I laid on the ground behind the quad(looking death in the eyes) the quad was almost upright and than tilted back onto the tailgate. Took my tractor out of the shop and lifted the back of the quad onto the tailgate. What saved me....I had the receiver hitch on the quad which prevented it from flipping over. Bottom line, one should never trust ramps, another person should be with when loading. Unloading I just put it into neutral and pull it off. Lets all be more careful!!!!
