Drop of a Hat

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A story very similar to the one on your site titled "Drop of a Hat" occured in the Claremore, Oklahoma area a couple years ago. I was not able to rediscover the actual story, as the news source's website only has an archive for the past year (www.claremoreprogess.com). In this instance the victim was an older man and I do not remember what caused him to get off and in front of the slowly moving piece of heavy machinery, but it was very similar to the write up under Drop of a Hat.

This doesn't really belong in the slush pile, but if it can be used to find confirmation...

Too vague.
