There was an incident during hay harvest near me this spring that resulted in a fatality. A 63 year old woman farmer died when a round bale came off the front-end loader. The bale wedged between the exhaust pipe and cab, preventing the cab door from opening. The hot exhaust pipe set the hay on fire and burned the tractor with her in the cab. She had an arthritic condition bad enough that she needed a lift device to allow her to get into the cab. Apparently that condition prevented her from maneuvering herself enough inside the cab to get out through the back window.
Also a man was severely injured when a round bale rolled back off his front loader and struck him as he operated the tractor ( open station ,no cab ) lifting a bale into a barn loft. He had the bale in the bucket, no forks or a spear.
I heard of another elderly man being severely injured in last winter when a bale rolled back of his fork equipped loader.

BE CAREFUL when using a loader to handle big bales , round or square.
