....and often enough operated by the biggest morons on the planet.

There's been an accident with a combine harvester a few weeks ago. A young guy had some blockage in the feeding screw of his harvester (I'm not sure if they have a specific name, but these interlocking, rotating drums at the end of a grain funnel). He tried to unblock it, by stepping onto the grain and poking the screw with a stick. That worked so well, it "sucked" him in and he now has two legs less.
