Accident

[RegWaters]

I regret to inform all last thursday my father-in-law was out with a friend drilling some holes with the auger on his Ford 3000. He was sitting in the seat and heard a noise and looked around to see his friend tangled up in the PTO shaft. He is currently in ICU , lost an arm, and almost lost a leg. Please pray for his recovery and be careful around your machine. We need to remember how dangerous they can be.

Reg -

My thoughts will be with your father-in-law's friend.

That's a horrible thing to happen to anybody, and it hurts all the more when it strikes that close to home. I can only imagine the trauma your father-in-law went through, too.

You can rest assured that some of us will take this warning seriously and be that much more careful around our tractors.

A horrible thing Reg, for all parties involved. Our hearts go out to them!
Thanks for the 'heads-up" reminder. There's just no-such-thing as too-alert.

( this is just one more reason I'm putting my auger on my backhoe,... if I'm operating it from the backhoe seat, I'm looking at it !)

Reg, same from us, our prayers are with your father-in-law and his friend. A terrible thing. One they will both play "what if" with the rest of their lives.

Reminds us all that these are not toys.

I don't know what to say, but my family's thoughts are with you.

Reg,
Truly sorry to hear that. What is your father-in-laws and friends name and we will put them in our prayers and on the prayer list at church. Terrible thing to happen to anyone.
