This is my story,That day changed the rest of my life and caused me alot of pain and discomfort which i have to live with for the rest of my life,my accident could of easy been avoided if i had of taken the time to make myself more aware of the dangers involved.After the accident farm safety became top priority on our farm.My advice to farmers is DONT wait until the accident has happened,Make your youngsters aware of the dangers and consequences on your farm

Good man Aaron, I don't think you have any reason to have lack of confidence after the way you told this story. You're a tough man and an inspiration to anyone who sees this video

soory to hear ur story . thinking back now ive done it many times and looking at this makes me realise how sily i am at times

Worked on farms as an agronomist for 25+ years, both mixed and arable. On a dairy farm in West Devon, and the farmer had a series of “interconnected rectangular pens” for selecting cows/cattle. I saw the farmer and he, as I thought, beckoned me over. I stupidly climbed across one pen and then another, to then realise I was in a pen not with cows, but young bulls! Wellie boots do not grip well on a slurry slicked concrete pen, but as these youngsters chased me I slipped and fell under the adjoining bars of the next pen. All I remember is hearing them crash into the bars! Very bent pen bars, and one very embarrassed farm rep! Dirty frightened but in tact! A lesson learned that never left me.

now i realize why you keep everything in top order. ive learned a lot from this and will start putting it into practicce

i just realize it was you. beacuse i have seen you videos i reconized the farm then saw it was you. lucky man !

ah boy aaron, very honest and heartfelt story in fairness, i know 2 lads i went to school with exact same accident happend to them, and of course one story of many accidents on the farm, keep up with the videos, donegal is a nice place to see.

Fair play for telling your story aaron, always watching your videos and its brilliant that your promoting farm safety, more lads shoiuld be promoting safety

I don't think I will be doing this again after seeing your story. Sorry for your accident, it has opened many peoples eyes to simple things that cause injury that are, in most cases, life changing. Thanks for sharing, and helping to promote farm, and tractor safety.

I have almost had a similar kind of accident myself by getting my foot caught in the gap between a tail lift and the truck bed, fortunately no serious injury but accidents happen so fast. Thanks for sharing the story.

The very same thing happened to me years ago, and Im not even a farmer and was even near a farm, I was in secondary school at the the time and walking home and a local farmer came along the road and stopped and asked did I want a lift, There was no room in the cab of the tractor so he told me to stand on the drawbar, he then proceeded to raise the drawbar and my foot got caught in under the hitch, I crushed 3 of my toes but luck was on my side and I managed to keep them

Yur story is a true inspiration to all farmers to be carefull an vigilant at all times!! And for tat I see u as a true farmer !!

Jesus Aaron only seeing this now, feck that was some accident, have done this loads of times myself but I suppose luck has been on my side. Fairplay for sharing your story, will pass on your advice. Hope all is good with you.

Alls good down here, all the field work finished for another year, it was so easy this year, twas some summer, up there with the best. If we get a bad winter we i suppose can't complain too much.

im so sorry to hear

I am so sorry to see this story lad. I seen your videos and there brilliant. So sorry lad.

im so sorry

I have never even thought about that happening to me

Such things don’t happen in my country for sure. Farm accidents are very common in Ireland and uk for some strange reason. Maybe because they always want to get things done in a rush? 🤷🏻‍♂️

same as myself but lady luck only stays by your side for so long enda,my luck ran out that day.alls good,seasons finished up and out on hedgecutter now,hows things in your part of the world?
