Survial Story

[Iowachild]

Here's an interesting story of an 83 year old man surviving a tractor flipping incident.

I like to hear the good ones.

I'll agree, it's good to hear when someone survives.

OTOH...

The story doesn't give a lot of detail other than that he was "trying to move a post". The pictures show an old Ford completely inverted. I have my suspicions as to exactly how it went down and, if I'm right, he's one lucky man. He darn near killed himself.

He could have had a chain rigged too high on the tractor for a rear rollover. That would be my guess...

I'm thinking more along the lines of the good ol' "wrap the chain over the tire" dumb stunt...
