What do you suppose he was really doing? I'm sure it's possible to get hurt by milking a cow but I was bit suspicious of this one...

Cow falls on man, injures him as he was milking near St. Lucie-Okeechobee line : St. Lucie County : TCPalm

I wonder if any of you ever milked a cow??? I did, for many years, and if the cow was hobbled it certainly could have fallen on the man. It would be a rare thing, but totally possible. Also, the cow may have an ailment that caused it to fall.
I don't understand the sarcastic remark by the OP .

I haven't milked a cow. That's why I was asking. I should add some background on this... we've had a few people arrested for trespassing onto farms and participating in unlawful acts with animals. It's not the first time I've seen it (particularly in the area mentioned in the article). It could be that this man was innocently milking a cow but I wonder why he chose to remain anonymous? Something he was embarrassed about? I don't know but it makes me wonder.

Jeez, I told the farmer to be careful someone don't spike the cow's drinking water. Now one got so tipsy and look what happened!

I don't know anything about milking cows, but I tried it one time and it turned out to be a bull... and he wasn't very happy.. I guess you might say.. he had a cow!
