I almost got caught once, scared me pretty good. I was hooking up a disk, and didnt know the pto was running and I felt it hit my leg i pulled it straight back and luckally i didnt get hurt. From then on i have shut off the tractor or double and triple check that the pto is off and the 3pt lever is all the way down (same tractor, girl friends grandad almost got caught up in the 3 point when it decided to lift up on its own).

Yes safety takes extra time, but its much easier than taking a trip to the hospital, or even spending a few days in pain.
