    found this today on a post. They say the guy is okay. I don’t know why you would transport a log on your lap when you have a perfectly nice bucket.

    Many farmers have died from round bales doing that.

    If that log was 2" shorter this story would have had a different ending. Maybe one beer to many?

    Yea not sure why you would lift it that high? But maybe they were cutting it up and trying to make it drop it not the bucket in the air and it went bad?

    If you check out the other thread that was posted on here (I put up the link) you'll learn that the can of "beer" he is holding is really a Dr. Pepper.

    Also shows some more pics of the injuries he sustained.

    Someone I do business with's wife is lucky to have escaped with just a concussion, broken neck, back, ribs, and collarbone after forgetting to lock the bucket in on her tractor, then backing up and accidentally pulling back on the left lever while looking backwards. Had she not noticed at the last second, and been diving out of the way, shes be gone.
