Handrosh Thomas L. Bean Most accidents occur within the agri- culture industry. On farms, tractors cause the most injuries. They have important jobs to do around the farm. You should never play around them or on them. Rollovers and runovers are the two main types of tractor accidents.
Tractors can roll over if the driver makes a fast or sudden turn.
Unbalanced weight on the tractor may cause it to tip on steep hills. Rollovers can also occur in flat fields when the tractor gets too close to a ditch and the tire slips down the side. Sometimes rollovers happen when trailing equipment is not hooked up correctly, causing the tractor to become unbalanced and flip over backwards. All tractors should have a Roll-Over Protective Structure . It protects the driver if the tractor were to tip over.
