Allmost a blade in the back

Was useing the s55 to cut some of the ditches deeper for the huricane and the top link went down and snapped off. I could not react fast to stop the tractor and the whole rear blade flipped up onto the rear end. Stopped just before hitting me.It pushed so hard on the pto shaft it broke the bolt holding it in.I need to remember to put the top link in the bottem hole when useing a blade.

A neighbor was trying to pull me out of the mud one time with some fair sized International utility,656 or something. Had a two prong bale mover on it,the pins were above the rods so you could drop it all the way to the ground and get under a bale. He hooked way down in the center of the contraption. Well,something cut loose and it flipped right up and over,one rod on each side of the seat. Didn't touch him,but if he'd have been leaning over a little looking back or something,it probably would have hit him right in the head and killed him in less than the blink of an eye.

Yeah, like the time my buddy got me to help him tear this two story house down. Using my 2510 jd and a chain to pull out the inside walls. Well long story short, on the last hook, and a shorter chian, the whole house came after me. The 2510 is slow in all gears, full throttle forth gear, I hear a humungus crash and felt a jolt. When the dust settled and I could see, the back of my left fender was crushed, and the next day I found a nail in my right rear tire.
