When I was probably 16, I was backing my Farmall M out of the garage at our lake place to do some yard work.. Nothing out of the ordinary, but being it was a 7 foot door, you had to duck to get out and the steering wheel didn't have much room either. As I was backing out, I didn't have my head low enough and pert-near got it pinned (And popped) between the steering wheel and the upper door frame of the garage. Left quite the scrape on my scalp scraping against the wood. Luckily I was able to jam on the clutch fast enough before my head popped like a grape.

My grandfather was walking behind a mid 20's tractor (not sure of the kind - he was born in 1919, and was only about 5 years old at the time). He was pitching hay into the trailer from the field in Barrett, MN. Well long story short, he tripped and his head was run over by the steel wagon wheel and peeled his scalp back about half way across the side of his head. He was stitched back up at the hospital in Alexandria, and the chair he sat in during the procedure is now in a museum in the Alexandria lakes area (I'm told).
