Yes, as this was a tragedy, and we all need to be diligent at all times, this accident was not a roll over, it was a mechanical failure. The tractor broke.

At some point common sense has to come into play and safety measures followed so we can enjoy our past. Forget the past and the future will be mean nothing. Be safe and teach safety every day....James
