People are nuts

Of course not everyone... I have been watching lots of videos on YouTube of old tractors plowing and working. Many of plowing events, such as the Half Century of Progress. Have you seen some of them, or attended? People on foot and in golf carts and "butt buggies" inches away from the furrow. The tractor driver has to spend as much time watching out for spectators as watching where he's going. Some of the guys on the tractors are not smiling. Any event like that should enforce rules that protect everyone's safety. A bad accident or injury could really impact the future of an event. Comments?

I agree with you, safety should be first. You want to see something watch some of the car rally videos with people right on the edge of the road in other countries mostly.

I have been participating at the show for several years,,and yes it gets crowded,, but it all works out,, people are close but still out of the way,,I have no problem with it,, it's like walking through a chicken coop,,you never actually step on a chicken...

What is even more fun during those rally runs is when half a dozen people do get hit. They just never learn. The bicycle races are even worse when some idiot is leaning out too far for a selfie and then he gets hit and then about 20 riders all go down in a heap. Remember 5he winter Olympics when that skier on the slollum whiped out and crashed theough about ten spectators that were behind an orange woven fence

Getting so bad some places are starting to be "Selfie Free"

Yes, I've see the videos. The descend like locusts, and barely get out of the way of the approaching tractors, tripping all over each other as they retreat.

All to get a picture or video that they're likely never going to watch or look at ever again.

People don't have instincts like chickens and golf carts don't move as fast as chickens. Sooner or later it's not going to "work out" for someone.
