⚠️ Thomas Robinson was just 22 when he slipped into the rollers of a potato harvester after removing a safety guard to clear a blockage.
He spent nearly two hours trapped in the machine, underwent five operations and even signed paperwork to have his leg amputated. Eighteen years later, he still lives with the physical and mental scars.
