Tractor Rollover
Kentucky Department of Agriculture
- 80% of all accidents on a farm involve a tractor, and rollover accidents are the leading cause of tractor-related deaths, and rollover accidents occur faster than our human capacity for reaction.
- Understand tractor stability.
- Understand that tractors are top heavy and can easily be tipped.
- Review the importance of a roll bar and seat belt on tractors without cabs.
In addition to the safety demonstrations, UMASH will again have the Wellness Pavilion where a number of exhibitors are there to answer questions and provide information on many agricultural related health and safety issues - something for everyone.
