A friend of mine died in a freak vehicle mishap last Saturday

[greybeard]

A good guy and he really was a pillar of this part of the county.
Not sure exactly what happened, but he had what the sheriff called a 'golf cart' up on ramps and it somehow went into gear and either ran over him or fell on him....he was doing the work several hundred yards from his house and when he didn't come back to the house the family went looking and found him deceased already. AFAIK, he didn't have a golf cart but had both a 4 wheeler and an RTV like a Mule.
He had been honored by the county on the courthouse lawn a few years ago as one of the county's purple heart Vietnam Vets.
He will be missed.

Sorry for your loss greybeard. You can't be too careful no matter how simple the task.

That is tragic, those freak accidents can and will happen. Never can be too careful or take too many precautions, most likely nothing would ever happen but there's always that chance.

Condolences to all concerned.

Sorry to hear about that GB. When the big fella puts his hook out you gotta go.

Those freak accidents happen pretty frequently. Know two knotheads that bypassed safety start switch on tractors. They survived but payed a heavy stupid tax.

Really sorry to hear that, GB. We lost a friend this year in a similar manner, left behind a wife & 3 little girls. You never think it's going to happen - until it does.

Sorry to hear this, it is because of things like this that I cannot work with or around people that think aholes and elbows is the only way to get things done. Being methodical and thinking through a project, before you begin, prevents most issues like this.
