Local news website just reported that a 3 year old girl in the mid-Michigan area lost most of one leg in a mowing accident. She was at her grandparents, ran out to surprise her grandfather who was mowing with a tractor, and he backed up and knocked her down, the blades cut much of one leg off. What a horrible thing to happen, they say she will recover but her leg could not be saved.
I always cringe when I see people carrying their kids around while they mow, that isn't the same as this incident but the result could be the same. The grandfather should have turned around to look before he backed up (something I ALWAYS do, even if it's a few feet) poor man will feel the guilt the rest of his life.
Play it safe, you guys.
