Sled_Hed Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Not good at all. He was flown to New Ulm for a blood transfusion and then to cities . Things happen with Augers and pto shafts pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Absolutely horrible, saw that yesterday. A while back, there was a North Dakota kid who had both arms ripped off at the shoulders in a farming accident. They reattached them, but I never heard if he regained function.

I remember hearing about that when I was a kid. He passed out when it happened, woke up and made it to the house and dialed 911 with a pencil in his mouth.

I thought about that scenario quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes for recovery to Travis Muller and his family. Edited September 27, 2023 by Premium 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
