10 Power Tools That Could Kill You
but remember that these tools put thousands of people in the ER each year. This is mostly due to people backing over other people or driving in situations they shouldn't be, such as at an angle up a steep incline. Keep in mind a large metal blade is turning at a high rate just below you. 10 Power Tools That Could Kill You

Your Say
Rolled two riders over the past 40 years. Both had dead-man switches in the seat and blade brakes. I pushed away from both rollovers, and neither I nor the mower was hurt.

Lets ban everything. Start with elections. After the list is finished all that will be left is Tootsie Pops and pussy. If I remember right it was pussy that started all this shit long ago with that apple.

A few months ago, as my wife and I were on our walk around the neighborhood, we passed by a man as he rolled a rider mower, pinning himself beneath it. I don't think he was ever in any real danger, but was mighty embarrassed. He was obese enough that he could not get out from under it. We helped get the mower off of him, and several other neighbors came trotting up just as he was freed. The irony is that his lawn isn't really big enough to justify a rider. I think the only reason he has it is because he is so out of shape, and that's what puts the danger in these things.
