No, this isn't a story about the farmer on ABC's "The Bachelor." Sorry.

This story is about a farmer in Michigan who earned the nickname 'Naked Farmer' by having the scariest day of his life. According to the Holland Sentinel, Tim Vander Zwaag suffered multiple injuries in December 2013 when he slipped into his tractor's spinning power take-off shaft. It beat him against a manure spreader, pulled off his clothes and threw him naked into the snow.

He suffered four fractured ribs, a damaged vertebrae, a broken femur, a displaced hip, crushed ankle, lacerated spleen, a scalp laceration and a cut hand. He tried to find his phone but had no luck. So, Vander Zwaag got on a tractor and drove it a quarter mile to a road where an off-duty firefighter who was passing by stopped and helped him. Doctors said that if he had been outside 10 more minutes, he would have died of hypothermia. After several surgeries and a lot of therapy, Vander Zwaag is doing much better these days. In December 2014, a year after the accident, he was cleared by his doctors. To read more about the 'Naked Farmer', click here.
