I can't look the quadbike ones. It's all a laugh and yes you might get a broken arm or leg but in reality it's just as likely your back or neck will be broken and it's game over.

And when the linkage breaks? It's happened before and will happen again. If the tractor is that light on the front, it's seriously beyond design load at the back.

I'm on tik tok and quite enjoy it. It really isn't all stupid and reckless shows.
If fact I commented on the video that is shown in the article. The lad was quite unrepentant in his replies. He commented to others that it was on autosteer and was slow so was ok.
Really is no hope for some!

Forward momentum, whereby as he is pissing around the body angle is over dead center, he slips and as he falls forwards the tractor 'could' then fall on him (left wheel). I suppose those wheels are very light and if falling on his chest will not kill him...

Sorry, didn’t realise we were aiming to protect for every remote possibility. In that case he should also have a hard hat on in case of a meteor strike, a plank tied across his backside to prevent him falling in to any giant crevasses that may open up in the ground and be wearing a life jacket in case of a flash flood.
Your sarcasm is wrongly applied here, the wheels are effectively light as most of their weight is being carried by the rest of the structure, as demonstrated by the fact that one man can lift them off the ground without much effort. As regards to what might be the worst case accident if he tripped, if you apply that to all aspects of life you would end up crawling everywhere on hands and knees, you certainly wouldn’t walk along a pavement at the side of a road that has moving traffic on it, what might happen if you fall out into the lane??? It’s all a matter of how you perceive a risk.
I’m definitely not condoning the idiots in the other videos, in fact I could easily wish for a swift application of natural selection but I also recognise the points made about the trauma that accidents can leave behind. However, I’ll stand by my opinion that the TFF posse seems to be over reacting to anything Tik-Tok related and the badly balanced tractor incident is very unlikely to cause much harm.

Well I seem to have seen a very slightly different video to you! The one I saw risked death to the performer and anyone who came along after and had to sort out the tractor. Further any member of the family who came across Their brother, son , employee, friend or just a total stranger who has been through the tines of a tedder, is going to live with that for the rest of their life.
Hmm, Actually there is a very high risk of personal injury within the actions of what he was doing, and if you were unlucky enough to be his employer and he were to have had an unfortunate accident and died - you could probably end up spending some time under her majesty's pleasure.
Would love to be the fly on the wall when you tried to squirm out of that one...
I believe he was referring to the video I posted about not being a great safety advert for farming..

A careful piece of editing my comment there, but the point stands and is more than valid. The events you mentioned are chosen as indeed remote possibility/ low frequency accidents, and indeed would not feature in any sensible risk assessment as an event that required mitigation, but this would, and the safeguards would say not to do it. You wouldn't put your head underneath whatever overweight object was on the back, so why would you think the other end of the seesaw is any safer?

A degree of richard craniumness is to be expected of some folk involved in operating heavy machinery but it is lunacy to record and broadcast the fact to remove all doubt.

Risk is the product of hazard and frequency. It is clear that you are the one who does not understand risk management.

Social media - a bit like TFF, but based around posting short videos (often heavily edited) rather than typed words.

By writing what you did above in your post, I consider you are condoning or making excuses
If there's a risk and you can avoid it, why wouldn't you?

Supplementary question; how many dead people have you actually dealt with in your life
In my case it was 7 in the first 6 months in the Fire Service
When you do encounter real life fatalities you deal with the emergency in a detached sort of way but you cannot fail to be affected seeing the reaction of the deceased loved ones. I always went home, made my peace with whoever and found myself hugging my loved ones a bit more often

In the 70s there was a young lad sitting on the hood of a double chop harvester when it was working. The driver heard the tractor giving a growl and looked around and the lad was gone.
