When I was teenager a man hired me to run his tractor and bushhog his fields. Gas for the tractor, an IH, was in a 55-gal. steel drum with a windlass-style pump. To re-fuel, you had to basically straddle the barrel.
I slightly overran the fuel, and when I re- started the tractor something arced and set the gas/straw/chaff afire under the hood of the tractor, and I had no way to put it out. For whatever reason, I thought it important to move the barrel away from the tractor, so I rolled it away on its rim, fearing that any second it would catch fire. The fire burned itself out on the tractor with no major damage--just new wiring needed.
There were other moments on my own tractor and cutter, such as the chunk of wood that knocked the top out of my straw hat. The most damaging thing that ever happened was a tree limb springing back and whipping into my eye.
