WOW!!  Many of you are painting pictures with some very broad brush strokes.  I'm sure that none of you have every made poor decisions regarding your kids.   I would bet that each and every one of you (us) has done or allowed the kids to do something that could have resulted or did result in something that could have easily turned out to be very bad if not tragic situation.  Sheesh!  Have a little compassion.  NO ONE is perfect.  No parent is perfect, including all of you.  Most of you need to realize that at some point in time while raising your kids, you were likely a hair's width away from being a parent like the ones listed, a parent of a deceased child from a farm accident. 

For those that say skidloaders are so dangerous.  If that's the case, then every self propelled piece of machinery should be outlawed too.
