My sister-in-law had a fight with a lawn mower (graphic)

I did something similar when I was 16. Sometimes people do stupid things, they're called accidents for a reason. Hope she heals up quick.

 

She looks older, any chance of some other concerns mentally? ( honestly, not dick-ish)

Reason i ask is because a lady that is tied to the family forgot a few appts. she made with us so we let the closer family members know and apparently she got diagnosed not long after with some Alzheimer's symptoms.

 

Ouch! That is terrible!!

It could have been worse, but man...that should have never happened in the first place.

High fives will now have to be done with the other hand to officially count

 

A guy I worked with quite a few years ago was missing
parts of fingers from two different snowblower accidents.

 

A snow learner....

 

Nope, she's got most of her shit together. This and according to her was just a stupid mistake that was quite costly.

 

Bet she gets mad respect when throwing up gang signs.

 

I guess this is the "I'll kill ya" sign?! lol

 

Her shadow puppets should be something to see as well.

 

My grandfather, that kept a 5th of Calvert in the fridge door, raised the running lawn mower with his hand to unclog it and did something similar. He was really upset that it happened to his "good hand." He had cut his thumb off with a circular saw on the other hand a few years prior.

 

Dad lost the tip of one of his by doing something of the same when he was a teenager. Blade hadn't stopped spinning
when he went to push the mower he was working on that didn't have a handle on it at the time.

 

I did this and lost three. It was a manual spool mower though. One got sewn back on, one is short but barely noticeable, and the third looks like a dick.

In my defense I was 2 years old at the time.

 

It's amazing how a momentary lapse in judgment can result in such a permanent and unfortunate outcome. I well know how it feels to have wet grass clogged in the output of a mower and just want to clear it out without having to deal with the inconvenience of stopping and restarting the mower engine. It really is a stupid thing to do but I've held the bar with one hand while reaching down to do the same damn thing.

But I will readily admit that it is truly amazing I survived my youth, let alone did so while retaining all my extremities.

 

damn....heal up quickly and well thanks for the PSA. I know what not to do now, and good lesson for city folks moving to the 'burbs.

 

Damn! Dad made you mow the lawn that young?

 

Family yard work day. Apparently I tried to contribute by attempting to remove a twig from the mower and fell forward into it. I told my kids that my older sister chased me around the yard with the mower. They're scared shitless of her.

 

The safety handle could have been tied up with a bungee. I've seen that, and bypassing the seat switch on a riding mower, done more than once.

 

This is an example of why some people belong on motorcycles and some for sure do not.

 

There are examples in this thread from fellow racers saying they've done similar things, doesn't mean they shouldn't be on a motorsickle

 

Motorcycles are not inherently dangerous, however they are unforgiving of inattention, negligence and anything but the utmost respect.
