For people who live in the safety of their homes and offices, they don't understand the realities of the dangers that farmers and ranchers deal with every day. You are absolutely right to remind us that we need to be careful in everything we do because it turns to tragedy... every day for some farmer or rancher. Thanks

i have been a large person my whole life. i was installing a alarm system in my house one week, and i had to go into the Attic to run wires for some window contacts on the second floor of the house. this wad before cell phones and my mom was on the first floor when i got up into the attic. so once up there i had to get on my stomach to crawl across the rafters to grab the wire i sent up from the second floor in the low spot up there. well long story short, my belly got caught between two rafters, and i couldn't back out of the tight spot. i kept trying to push myself back, and got stuck in the head with a nail from the roof shingles in the spot i was in. i tried calling my mom for help, but she never heard me, and she never came up to see what was taking so long. between working and being stuck, i was up there for at least 45 minutes before i managed to free myself and back out of the spot. it wasn't funny at the time, but it was when i told the story for a long time

Got my left hand hung in the power roller of a Gehl round baler back in 1978. My middle finger was bent down into my palm and even with the locks applied to the gate and three belts that were holding my hand on my hand cut, I couldn't just slide it out. I finally grabbed my left wrist with my right hand and swung my weight on it. I removed some hide from the back of the hand and in my later years had to have surgery for joint problems. Yep it will grab you fast and even with someone watching, will have you tight before they can help. I was lucky...... We all learned not to cut hay off that roller with a tractor running.

Wes, glad you got out and are safe. You should maybe get checked out at the hospital. You could have created a blood clot while you were pinched between the tires. If you had a clot it could move through the body and cause serious problems for you. Stay safe my friend. We all know you are usually cautious, this is just one of those things that happen from time to time.

As a contractor this is stuff i worry about all the time. Sometimes I work where there is no cell phone signal and in sites of no one in view and no one knows where I am at. I've had to walk 3 miles in a -25 snow storm at 2 am to rescue myself out of a snow bank before plowing snow and have plowed in storms where emergency personal would not be able to respond. You just constantly think of the worse case scenario and aim to avoid it as best as possible and think before you act.

You where absolutely correct in thinking that removing air in the tire was very dangerous for you and for two reasons First Because it is a radial tire with many plies it would have crush your knee Second because the rear axel is steerable it would have move toward your knee when the pressure drop in the front tire and you where not in a position to release pressure in the back tire and even in that case it would have been bad for you
