I read on here on TBN recently of a man killed by a tree branch that was tensioned by either the ROPS or exhaust (or something), and subsequently snapped back, struck him in the head, and killed him.
I spent the better part of last week pasture mowing and reclaiming some overgrown brush/bush. I can now certainly see the argument for open station machines to prevent cab damage!!
More importantly however, several times I considered putting on my full-face sledding helmet after taking a whipping branch in the face/arm/back/leg..... I was thinking for eye protection, but perhaps that might have saved this man as well.
Passer's by and neighbors might wonder what on earth you're thinking, but it'd be worth it if it saves an eye, or your cerebrum.
