It's always good to be reminded of proper safety practices.
But your link does fortify my theory that farm accidents do seem to get a lot more press than other types do.
First of all this apparantly happened in 2008 and we're still reading about it.
And I know it happened in Scotland but.
According to the NTSB in the year 2008 there were 39800 deaths in the US due to traffic accidents.
And according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2008 there were 672 fatalities due to Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting.
To paraphrase the words of one of the great 20th century dictators;
"ten million lives lost in a war is but a statistic. One child that you love dies is a great tragedy."
Again, lets use our wits and be safe around our equipment. But let's also not make a mountain out of a molehill.
