I know a guy who was stepping over the PTO on a tractor once. We call him one nut willie today.

I was drilling post holes back in my younger days and got my sweatshirt caught in the pto. Ever heard of hysterical strength? I literally ripped myself out of that sweatshirt. I was terrified and ever since then I been very cautious around machinery.

Back in the early 80s, the loader operator at a neighboring coal mine got out of his machine to remove a large wad of blasting wire that had gotten wound around the conveyor belt of a coal stacker. The belt caught his arm and ripped it out at the shoulder. The man walked up the side of the coal pile and retrieved his arm with his remaining hand.
