All the things you mention I did most of them too and made it just fine. I even rode a bike without a helmet. Buddies and I were discussing how the whole baseball team use to ride to the ice cream place in the back of a truck. Dont see that anymore.
But here are two examples that didnt turn out so well.
1980 friend stepped over a spinning PTO shaft, wrapped his leg like a pretzel. Body cast, pins all the way to his hip. Lucky to be alive. 9 years old.
1985 neighbor kid was leaning over by a PTO shaft, started spinning caught his scarf, think it pulled a bunch of tendons and ligaments, dislocated his shoulder, almost choked him to death. 15 years old.
In the second case there was some type of lawsuit where the PTO was notspinning, but the coupler was hydraulic and the cold thick fluid made it engage. Was a Steiger. I think that was the case, I cant remember all the details.
