A good friend with a small farm was out on his tractor the other day trying to round up his small flock of sheep in a pasture. Going at a fairly fast pace to keep up with the critters he forgot about the bucket off a front end loader that he had left in the field in the spring. He ran into the bucket and it flipped the tractor launching him out of the seat like a rocket. (Older tractor without a ROPS or seatbelt)
He landed on the other side of the bucket and the tractor came down on him killing him instantly.
Always know the field you are riding or mowing in and walk it if necessary........It may save your life someday.

RIP Warren .... You were a good friend
