Farmers never think it will happen to them

[@LectronCircuits]

Ghastly (or gassy) farm accidents can happen to anybody at any time. Be careful out there or else you could end up buying the farm!

CO is extremely deadly.

With the greatest of respect to you sir
Surely you must of been aware of the dangers involved?? Knowing that the gasses are highly dangerous, so why didn't you take the appropriate steps to insure you would be safe to proceed with your work.

what happen I don't understand???

[@retrosad]

nearly suffocated due to methane gasses

[@jay-lm4we]

He fell and hurt himself from what I understood.

[@JAWDRESS]

Umm.. i dont understand

[@loloberry5932]

Manure produces methane gas which is deadly to people and animals. The manure is stored below the barn and is mixed so it can be pumped out into the field. Here the manure was agitated and it was a calm day so the gases built up and almost killed him. The gases are odorless and people typically pass out within seconds of knowing there is an issue.
