I see and hear the whole thing in super slo-mo. Everthings going good, but just as the back wheels hit the spot between the tailend of the truckbed and the end of the ramps I hear them spin out, for a second nothing happens as I hear the ramps hit the floor, I see the ceiling of the guys shop. My hands are firmly attached to the steering wheel and my feet are on the footrest. The tractor actually hits the floor just a little over vertical on the back of the rear tires, gives a small bounce and goes over completely landing square in my chest. I have the imprint of the steering wheel on my ribs, not bruised just red. The hood smahes into my nose and face and slowly it falls to my right, onto my leg. The guy is so shocked he just stands there for a minute as I jump up and declare my self undamaged. He can't believe it. I was supposed to have surgery on the 8th for torn ligments and bone spurs in my shoulder, now I have to put it off. not because of this, but I actually got a job, pays well I made over 750 yesterday and I'll make that much everyday for several weeks, Of course I rolled over 4,000 sq,ft. of wall space. This will be my last job this year, too many tractors need me. Mike
Wow, It hurts just reading about it. Now I know why I never load my tractors by driving them up the ramps. I hope you heal up okay.
