As we move into harvest, farm accidents will increase. Many of them are preventable at some level. I have done some stupid stuff and gotten by with it. I have done some stupid stuff and broke machinery or worse yet hurt myself. Josh Flint has written and article about the relationship between sleep deprivation and accidents.
I think it is only one of the contributors. Big on the list is just being in a hurry. You think you can cut corners to get done faster. Not a good idea. Stress contributes too. The aggravation of a breakdown or a clog can get you to do things you shouldn't. Make sure to set a good safety example for employees too. They will follow your lead. Without getting to heavy here, I close with the famous words of Sargent Phil Esterhaus, "Be careful out there."
