Sligo farmer tale
Speaking as part of the Health and Safety Authority’s (HSA’s) farm safety message ahead of the 2021 silage season, Aengus explained: “It all happened in a flash.
“I parked the teleporter to check a fence – and next thing I knew the teleporter got me from behind and the blade rammed me into a tree,” said Aengus Mannion.
“The pain was excruciating. I thought both my legs had been chopped off. There was blood everywhere.
“I was an hour and 20 minutes screaming for help, drifting in and out of consciousness,” the Sligo farmer recalled.
