Always a sad day when something like that happens, but your subject heading reminded me of a story I was told as a young lad for a safety lesson.

He had used a nail in place of a cotter pin in the pto drive line. Something went wrong and he got off of the tractor to work on it without shutting it down, because he was in a hurry. The nail caught his new overalls and wound him around the pto shaft. The tractor was still running with what was left of him wrapped around the pto shaft when his family came out to see what was taking him so long. Instead of saving time to make his friends funeral, he made a reservation for his own. This story was told to me as fact. I was probably six or seven years old at the time and obviously it made a lasting impression.
