Well, your story wasn't as sad as I thought when I saw your heading: Let me tell you about a truly sad hayride. This happened several years ago, when a fraternity and a sorority from a college about forty miles distant hired a couple of waggons pulled by teams of horses for a hayride. With the drinking and whatnot going on, one heavy boy climed on the back of the rear waggon, breaking off the rear hayrack, and with it went the lone battery powered flashing light. A short time later they were struck from behind by a drunk driving a Suburban. My wife became involved as an emergency room nurse, at the local hosital. Ambulances were taking victims to as many as five hospitals, as far as sixty miles away, because none had the capacity to deal with all the victims. There were many serious, serious injuries, and the team had to be destroyed. My memory isn't clear as to whether there were any deaths. MORAL OF THE STORY: HAYRIDES CAN BE DANGEROUS! NO AMOUNT OF LIGHTS, ROTATING BEACONS AND FLASHERS IS TOO MANY! MAKE SURE YOUR EQUIPMENT IS EXTREMELY VISIBLE, CHOOSE SAFE, MINIMALLY TRAVELED ROUTES, AND HAVE A OBSERVER POSTED TO KEEP DRIVERS INFORMED OF ANYTHING HAPPENING TO THE REAR.
