My near death experience did not require a month in the hospital, a 1952 200 worked great to move some soil to make room for a shed. I had the bucket pretty full and high up so it would not spill and I was too lazy to take down an electric horse fence so I went up a steep incline on a diagnal. Tractor started to lean, I knew what was happening, and being young and spry I stood up and jumped off, landing against an electric horse fence post(not getting zapped) I looked up to see the tractor tire was going to land on me. I rolled enough so the tire only grazed me. Had a ripped shirt and some tire marks on my side, so I went for a quick CAT scan at the ER to check for internal injuries,which was quite embarrasing since I work there. Tractor ended up upsidedown and had to pay a tow recovery guy to flip it over. a new steering wheel and new lights and it is good as new. I have a few scars.
