I agree with you, it is a bad deal. Luckily no one got hurt. I wasn't there, but if I was that close to a river bank and I couldn't see I would have stopped immediately. Back in about 1979, some some young partyers in town decided to have a hayride. They had a John Deere B and two FULL hayracks of young people and beer. Things where going pretty good until they went down a steep straight gravel road. The B popped out of gear, then the fun started. I wasn't there but,my buddy was. Those two wagons started whipping pretty good, people, beer, coolers, and kegs started flying around, some people jumped right away, most got thrown off. My buddy and a couple of other guys rode it out. He said it got going so fast he was afraid to jump. They were old hayracks and had enough of a gap between the floor boards so they could get their fingers in and hold on. Good thing it was a straight road and the tractor and wagons made it to the bottom ok. No one got hurt too bad, some road rash. The weeds in the ditches where tall, so if you went off that side you had somewhat of a cushion. There was alot of walking wounded coming into town. Nobody had a hayride for awhile after that. when they did, it was bigger tractors and smaller hills, but probably more beer.
