Adrenaline is a hell of drug. I read somewhere our muscles are capable of generating almost 3X the force they normally can supply but at the cost of damage to the tendons, joints, and possible broken bones. Glad they were able to save him.

I saw this verry often when I was a paramedic.peoples walking away from a burning car ect. with a broken leg or trying to pull others out of the car with a broken wrist ect. or the helping peoples have lift thinks what normal peoples can not do.

Yep, good job gals!

That tractor looks like an old Ford either 2N or 8N and we had a 2N. Sitting in it was a death trap. There was no way to exit it without climbing out like a fighter jet. IT was also very tippy.

My wife wanted me to replace it with a tractor that had a roll bar. Thus, the L3700SU popped up and that's how my farm gal got the old tractor off me!

Love those farm gals!
