actually this fellow Paul Hare had been a well driller for 3 generations he was under the machine applyng rosin to a gang of belts > nornmaly if the machine is runnig you have a stick with rosin ball stuck on the end so you hands are not near belts, well he couldnt find the stick just the rosin > so he reached in to the belts and got caught up good > the rosin stick was long enough to push the clutch lever when he was under the machine in and out so with out the stick he was stuck in the belts >till it ran out of fuel about three hours later he staggered to the hyway and somebody seen his situtation piled him in the back of a truck 45 miles later >he recovered well although it took two years to get all the parts on his arm working > me and my older boys put many paychecks in that house hold to keep him and his family going ~ Copey
