    I was in clare last week . saw a kid standing in the cab of a tractor. Was probably about 7 or 8 years old.
    Will farmers never learn.
    One jolt and he was under my front wheel.

    Back in the 70's lots of children sat on the mudguards of tractors without cabs I even did it myself, of course tractors traveled slower back then.

    Yes , one has died. Just to point out that the young lads were not on top of the trailer, they were in it It overturned when the bank of a dyke subsided-we have had very heavy rain here yesterday and this was probably the cause.

    I know all the people involved. The farmer would be an absolute stickler for farm safety. The lads are neighbours of his, it's a huge tragedy all around.

    Some crazy videos on youtube of 5 year olds operating industrial machinery and the comments are as mind boggling endorsing it.
