They’re a fact of life in the suburbs and in the country: lawn mowers. For those of us who aren’t lucky enough to be able to hire someone to mow the lawn for us, we have to use those noisy dangerous beasts to tame our own yards.
Before you end up hurting yourself though, be sure that you follow some safety rules while mowing. While it may seem easy enough to do, if you make some bad decisions, you could end up in a lot of pain – as in losing some toes or fingers pain. Or worse. Lawn mower injuries are more common than you think.
Here is a video called Dangerous Mowing. Just click on the TV screen below to watch it. Preventing lawn mower injuries is a heck of a lot better than living with them.
