( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) London man speaks about his farrn accident Keith Anger of London was the guest .speaker at a Meeting of the directors of the 'Huron County Farm and Home Safety Association on November 11. Mr.. Anger farmed in the Zurich area. from 1972-1978. On October 21, 1976 his farm- ing dreams were shattered while picking corn that day. The gravity box had not been chained down to his wagon's running gear and itstarted to slip diff the frame. Anger stopped the tractor and step- ped off toliright the shifting "I thought I had disengag- ed the - tractors PTO, but -it obviously must have remain- ed in gear"; he explained. • After pushing the gravity box into place, Anger headed back to the tractor. A build- up,. of 'mud on the young farmer's boots may have in- terfered with his normal gaiter: suddenly tripped. over4werAfirne corn; stalks and; felt toward the power shaft. In the next instant, his life Was changed forever as his arm slipped into the PTO. The PTO shaft on Anger's harvester was shielded by the older style of bolt -on, sheet metal cover. This left the underside exposed. The young farmer's cuff was caught by a grease nipple; he recalls seeing his severed arm lying in the corn stub- ble, but 'everything happen- ed so quickly that he remembers little else. Of the two weeks after his wife found' him, he remembers nothing: Bonetprotruded through thrflesh of An'ger's right thigh. Several ribs were broken, and the young man's face and skull had been damaged. It is difficult to imagine the horror and shock that Must have gripped Mrs. Anger when she found her husband's broken body lying in the field. He can recall nothing of the next two weeks. • However, the six months spent in traction re- main in his, mind as a period of pain and the crushing boredom of seconds that pass like hours. Following . six months in painful- traction and a• half. year of therapy, Anger returned to farming. He sold out in 1978, after accepting the reality of,."too many lit- tle things that I just couldn't do". , Anger has since upgraded his education with a quick completion of high school and, in 1981, graduation from Centralia Agricultural Col- lege. He took . on the .S.W.I.1+ .T. project in hopes of bettering his chances for full-time employment. Farm machinery • ac- cidents can happen to other - wide careful operators when stress or fatigue leads to momentary disregard of safety. •Anger' says that although he wasn't really aware of the, extent of the danger posed by farm equip- ment, normally he was cautious. Simply forgetting to diseneaee the PTO led to a devastating injury that has changed his . life. There is .solace in the fact that he sur- vived. Also at the meeting it was decided to purchase another 500 Dangerous Gas Signs which should complete -over 60 percent of the county. There are presently. 750 Gas Warning signs installed by the Huron County Junior Farmers to date. The Annual Banquet and Dance will be held on April 8, 1983: . • Corn Harvesting Safety Each fall, corn harvesting accidents seriously injure a \number of farmers in On- tario.
