The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. bale chute lowered on public highway

    “The bale chute, when on the public highway, should not be in its lowered position”
  2. 2. unmarked bale chute under 2 metres

    “The bale chute was just short of 2 metres in iength and falls under the legislation that, when on roads, it should be clearly marked”
  3. 3. unmarked bale chute

    “The bale chute had no markings and was painted matt grey”
  4. 4. obstruction of highway by unmarked chute

    “Given the potential for obstructing the highway, all the more so as the manufacturer's instructions appear to be not followed, bale chutes should be clearly marked so that anyone approaching side on, day or night, as the deceased's husband was, should be able to see it”
