Nearly everything one does in life has some risk. Driving on the road is risky, so should we all stay home and/or walk? Should we never climb a tree because we might fall down? Benefit/reward vs risk is the issue. I believe the reward/benefit of teaching/educating my children/grandchildren to the farming life/experience, which sometimes includes controlled tractor rides, is substantial for a slight increase in risk. If children are on the tractor/machine it is necessary to keep them in your vision or at least restrained. The guy backing the tractor wasn't watching the child, didn't have him adequately restrained and an unfortunate accident occured. This situation could be repeated many times before you would again have the circumstances that resulted in this tragedy. So if you truly believe that life is too precious to take a chance, don't travel on the roads, don't fly in planes, don't climb trees, don't go skiing/sledding or any other activity that makes life worth living. As the story goes you might live a long time, but really never live. Sometime the old 60's phrase has some valid meaning, "It's better to burnout than fade away".
