"The death rate in Kentucky agriculture is two to three times higher than the national average, primarily because of our high number of tractor and tractor overturn deaths," said Larry Piercy, Extension agricultural safety and health specialist in the UK College of Agriculture.
Roll bars or ROPS are designed to provide a zone of protection for the operator in the case of an overturn and, in most situations, will stop the tractor on its side.
