Electric Light Orchestra cellist killed by rolling bale
15th March 2011
A founder member of the rock group Electric Light Orchestra died when a 63 stone (400kg) bale of silage rolled nearly 200ft (60m) down a steep field on to his moving car.
Michael Edwards, 62, the band’s former cellist, died instantly when the bale landed on the cab of his bottled-water delivery van on a rural road in Devon in September last year.
Let that be a lesson to us all.

A bit off-topic, but why do the Brits still use “stone” in referring to weight?
