That is a great story - only because of the happy ending of having his clothing ripped.

(and it backs up my "Man is farm work dangerous!" point)

It sure is dangerous. I come from a family that includes many farmers over many generations, and the stories are legion. We lost an uncle two years ago when the tractor he was repairing somehow went into gear and pinned him against the wall of the barn...what a way to go. Still...is it worse than dying of stress releated heart disease? I'm not so sure.
