[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 345358, member: 1664"] Sorry to hear of the loss of a friend. Needless accident. The rule of thumb in wearing seat belts on equipment is basic. If the equipment has R.O.P (roll over protection, cab cover, roll bar, ect...), you always wear a seat belt. If the tractor does not have R.O.P., you never wear a seat belt. I know it sounds contrary to logic,but it isn't. With R.O.P. you have no where to go, you just "ride it out", that's what it is made for. Without R.O.P, one must be free to jump or walk over the top of the rolling equipment. I am not making light of this subject. I and my wife spend at least 4hrs on a tractor each week on unleveled ground. The same thing can happen with people mowing their lawn on a mower. Over confidence and not paying constant attention to ones surrounding is what leads to these tragic events. Sorry for my rant, but I have spent the last 40 years around heavy equipment and I know their value and their lack of caring if one get hurt using them. [/QUOTE]
