I had a first cousin whose arm was pulled in between the V belts and 
drive pulley of a corn combine.  The engine stalled with his arm 
trapped, the bones in his forearm crushed, and blood pouring.  After 
sizing up the situation for a few minutes he got out his pocket 
knife, opened it with his teeth and cut off the trapped part of his 
arm.  A "field hand" arrived about that time and helped Waylon get a 
belt tightened around his arm to slow the bleeding but was too shook 
up to drive him to the hospital.  He did ride along with Waylon as a 
passenger though.  I think he helped with the shifting.

Later,
Johnny
