[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still laughing at the guy in Great Falls who said that mowing his 1/3 of an acre is dangerous. HAHA! What a wuss.[/quote]

35,000 people are injured each year mowing their lawn (and close to 100 are killed each year). It's one of the most dangerous activities you can undertake at home. A friend of mine did die while mowing on a hot day. I don't let my kids operate a mower. [/quote]

My dad had a horrible lawn mowing accident. Multiple surgeries. He was in his 50s. My brother told him to wait to do it. He didn't. He flipped over it going down a hill. It is more dangerous than people think. [/quote]

My 16-year old has a lawn mowing 'business' from age 12-15.  He mowed 5 lawns in our neighborhood.  Customers were hard to find since almost every single house uses a lawn/landscaping service.

The yards in our neighborhood our postage size stamp.

It's character building for kids.  They should all have to mow the lawn at some point.  My siblings and I did (even my sister and I; not just my brother).

My parents (who had a much larger lawn) still mow it. My mom is doing it in her mid 70s--and would never consider outsourcing it :lol: [/quote]

No kidding. My father, who is in his 80s, still mows his lawn, even though he could easily outsource it. He sees it as a way to keep active. This guy who wants to be a martyr for mowing his lawn in Great Falls, and these people catastrophizing about lawn mowing injuries, are embarrassing.

They are also innumerate. There are a HUNDRED TIMES as many people injured per year in car accidents as lawn mowing. Yet the Great Falls guy isn't suggesting that women get special recognition for driving kids to school or going to the store. Hilarious.  [/quote]
