This is not being easy on the BOY'S

Now this was a close call



Most of us have to drive through access gates at some point of our driving careers.

We have had numerous incidents with gates swinging in the wind and hitting vehicles.

This guy caught a gate that was probably hidden by the tree line as he rounded the corner.

Share the following pictures as you see fit with your work groups.

Look at all four pictures to see how lucky this guy really was.

OMG....That is close! How the heck did that happen? Don't see any blood on the seat.....that's a good sign.........Hope you were wearing a cup. Did it get your leg?

Yikes!!! That's a little too close to home.

Somehow my post went up twice???? Them farmers are getting nasty settin traps like that

I'm not sure what the outcome was. It was a safety bulletin I got in an email. I'll see if I can find more info.

"and the sign said you've got to have a membership card to get inside"

That bush guard was definately responsible for the extent of the damage. The guard forced the gate to go where it did. With no guard, the gate may have swung away from the truck leaving only a small dent and scratch. IMO

You know the driver is going to use his imagination to replay some 'worst-case-scenarios' in his mind for a long time. Things that make you go "hmmm".

years ago on tv there was a report about a guy that did the same thing but the pipe went right through him and he lived

Well that could've been worse, the gate was hard to see as it was pointed strait at the truck.

I nearly got skewered by a burnt dry, windfall top, it was pointing strait at my head while breaking trail with powder blowing in my face...

Simply tying some survey tape on the gate would've helped that pickup driver see it.

Looking at the second truck in the picture, it is obvious the first truck couldn't see if the gate was open from very far away...

Be careful out there.
