So today at work i found out that up at the farm (where we store tractors... but its also the owners dad's farm) a guy by the name of Greg Smith was picking rocks with a skid steer... he leaned his head out to look at something and his cell phone hit the lever that lets the bucket down and it crushed his head. He did get off of the seat.. but he had the seat belt buckled behind him. A farmer heard the skid steer ideling for 20 mins straight with out moving... So he got on his tractor and went over to check it out. He found Greg with his head smashed in and his cell phone still hooked around the lever. He called the police and... well u all know the rest. It was his LAST day of work. I talked to him once and he was an amazing guy... everybody else at work new him better and they all said you couldnt find a nicer guy in the world So pray for him and his wife. We are all going to miss you Greg!!

 

sorry to hear !

 

thats no good at all sorry to hear that

 

Sorry to hear... That's why you ALWAYS have to be careful runnin equipment. I've had some pretty stupid close calls over the yrs because i wasn't payin attention or just pushed it alittle too far.

Always and i mean always be careful if your the rigger and the operator is a dumbass! Almost lost my foot cause of some idiot not payin attention.
