Whole place was in order except for a poop hook (?) someone left laying. Hit just the right angle to miss the neck of the vest and the helmet and stuck in her temple/forehead....

A man was loading after the show, tractor slipped, he went off the tractor and hit his head on the ground. He died from head injuries. From what I heard from someone actually at the scene, tractor did not fall on him. Time and unforseen occurrences befall us all at times. http://greensburgdailynews.com/local/x257412032/Man-dies-after-tractor-fall Personally, I like the idea of using a winch to load. Too many instances of this happening for me.   [Reply]  [No Email]

A non combat loading of a tractor at a show should be safer than dodging 7.62x39 slugs, IUD"s, RPG"s, mortar/artillery fire, mines, friendly fire. Or having somebody driving combat equipment take evasive maneuvers and run over some of his own troops.   [Reply]  [No Email]

They are people like you and me who suddenly cross the line due to something unforeseen happening, from having a wide margin of safety to no margin. I would feel safe observing that the vast majority hurt or killed in situations like these also had commented many times about unsafe practices of others. There is a constant need for all of us to keep thinking about our plans and procedures, and safety of our equipment.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Two ramps with a narrow front tractor isn't a good idea either. Try to suggest a winch on the front of the trailer and the idea is not welcome.   [Reply]  [No Email]
