No matter how safe we try to be, accidents can happen on a farm. This boy was trained right though, he had his seat belt on. Our family prays that his injuries are not life threatening, and that he heals quickly.
I have a 12 and 15 year old that drive tractors, and my 12 year old can operate a skid loader. My husband and I are always reminding them about safety and that misjudgement, or ignoring equipment and farm safety rules can be deadly.
