Right! The nannies rushing in to stop a hobby that sometimes involves large machinery, accidents and snakebite. Sheesh. What a nation of babies we are becoming. Seems to me in all the history books and novels like the Little House on the Prairie, farming accidents are part and parcel of living in a big country, lol.

My granduncle lost a finger when is gloved hand got caught in a combine. Some people never realize that a spinning shaft on a PTO (Power take off) is deadly to shirt or coat sleeve.

I remember a man who had one of his kids riding on a tractor while he was brush hogging. He hit a bump or rock and the kid fell off right in front of the spinning blades. The child never had a chance. We used to learn tractor safety in agriculture classes in High School. Unfortunately those classes are no longer taught.
