About 15 yrs ago I was at a BBQ on a friends farm. All going well till another mate came to us to say some one had fallen down between round bales. A few if us ran and pushed out the bales and there she was not a stitch on her, she was mortified. I still bump into her occasionally and I'd say she thinks if it every time we meet, I certainly do!!

rolling in the hay :eek:

Was telling the parents about that loader bucket that fell on your mans wife and they were talking me about a family they know in Wicklow.
Father put bucket on digger, went into house for half hour came back out jumped up in digger and put the two daughters in the bucket for the trio and headed up the field. Bucket came off and crushed the two girls. He had never pulled across the latch on bucket.
Terrible accident all together. You man's life was ruined I'd say

That was Wexford, not Wicklow. Just the right side of the border. Know the family well and his farmyard is the safest annd tidiest you could find. Terrible business altogether.

My dad told me a story of a farmer that had either the loader to high/ or the load to high going under one of them old train bridges, he hit the bridge causing damage to track, the next train came and people where killed.
He said the farmer never forgave himself for what had happened. And was never the same after it

Sounds like I live in real cowboy country now but that happened at Clough in North Wexford in the late sixties or early seventies. I don't know if we are talking about the same accident but it derailed the train and killed I don't know how many. The man was moving either a dozer or a track digger and caught the bridge. He knew the train was going to be coming as he was a local and used to the terain running times. He went up the track to try stop the train but was unable. The poor man is dead now and he did never get over it. I only knew him 20 years later and he never really got over it.

was coming back from outfarm with my da in the jeep, there was a funeral on at the church-crossroads- there was a lorry couldnt get through the way the cars where parked. This meant we couldnt get by, he wouldn't reverse the lorry back-ignorant £$%^&- he sent word in to the church to get a few cars moved. I walked home in the rain and left my dad there

mate drives an artic lowloader and was in some back arse place in Tipperary collecting a machine. Got directions to where he was to go and he was directed up a small windy road that he said was just wide enough for the truck. As he rounded a corner he met a funeral procession coming against him.

:D, he said he backed up a bit to where there was a bit of a bank and drove the truck and trailer as far in of the road as possible. he said the hearse scraped by along with all the cars, with everyone staring him out of it. He had to be towed back down of the bank when funeral eventually pasted. I could stop laughing when he rang me with the story

oh has had a few close escape with very narrow lanes and small yards, he said if he had a euro for everytime he heard "sure the milkman gets in no bother" never a mention of hump back bridges etc, now he looks on google maps before he sets out saves alot of hassle
