Tragic accident

Big Muddy rancher

Well-known member
I think i mentioned on here about a young fellow that had his arm caught in a PTO on oil truck. It tore off his arm and did much other damage. He passed away today after being taken off life support. The real sad part was his wife had a baby C section a week or so after he his accident and since he was in a coma never saw the baby.
I didn't know the fellow but it hits close to home as my son hauls oil and was even hauling out of the same battery just a couple of days before the accident. He drives past the site every day on his regular run.
I hope some good comes from the tragic event in that the people that knew this young fellow take extra caution doing those everyday things that due to familiarity we all become slightly careless. That goes for ranchers too.

Be careful out there. Remember those quiet cows are pumped up o hormones.

It's always sad when someone dies young. This was especially tragic when his wife had a baby he will never see.

Prayers go out to the family. :cry:

That is sad BMR. Pto's are deadly and do their work fast. Cows, gates, ice and all sorts of things to take caution with.
