This should serve as a reminder to all u open deck guys when trying to fix stuff on or around equipment. Some wheel chocks would have saved his life. Slow down and be safe and always protect yourself against the worst that could happen.
just a horrible accident. RIP driver

That is flat out terrible. I think about #### like that all the time and remind myself to be careful and take extra precautions.
On a related note, this happened in Houston around 2:30am. Just more to think about and be aware of.

His name didn't help him this time. This has been going for generations, someone always knew someone that got severely hurt or killed on the farm. It was part of the business. Dangerous large equipment operated by less than qualified people. It's an industry that is riddled with safety hazards, that go unresolved. I worked on several farms, and was appalled by the lack of safety concerns, and vowed never to work on a farm again. Got to be especially tough, a family member.
