Bill Bergstrom told a Farm Safety Seminar near Barron how a fall day in 1979 left him with a missing leg portion and a torn leather shoe after he removed an exposed power take off guard. He described driving a 1950 tractor with a chopper wagon beside a silo when the guard failed.
Mr. Bergstrom nearly lost a leg when his pant leg caught a spinning PTO shaft after missing a guard. He was forcibly dragged to safety, treated at Barron Memorial Medical Center and Luther Hospital, then spent two days in hospital and six weeks recovering. Neighbors and insurance helped with chores and support during recovery.
About 26 people gathered at Indianhead Holsteins on a Barron County farm near Bar ron to hear farm accident rescue and first aid guidance. Don Drost urged guards on tractors and turning off engines before working near gears while Chuck Sandman and Cliff Sandsmo demonstrated safe electricity use.
