HUMAN FOOT vs LAWNMOWER, (Ballistic Dummy) (SLOW MOTION) 

Anybody got a yard guy? I don't think I want to mow my own yard anymore.

My dad lost his big toe mowing when I was a kid. Crazy to see you do this. Well done Chris

I love that you put so much thought into “What’s the right way to put a foot into a lawn mower?”

Did you call an ambulance? Nah... I called a toe truck.

I was a little worried this was going to be slow motion of what happens when you accidentally stick you hand in a lawn mower while trying to put a fake foot in.

I always love your slow motion Chris. A++

As a grass man ... ya, I often live in fear. Biggest one is falling and slipping my leg under the mower from behind. Commercial mowers run at 25 hp today. Wouldn't even slow it down : (

Don't know how I found this but it's perfect. As someone who had a foot go under a lawn mower in 2015, I can confirm it hurts.

The weed-eater would probably hurt like hell, but wouldn't cause any serious injury. The whole point of them using string is so that during operation the "strings" will conform to any hard surfaces like curbs, walls, tree stumps, tree roots, etc.

I think I will now start wearing steel toes shoes to do yard work. Thanks for the demonstration of the danger.

I thought I was watching some RU-vidr with millions or at least 600k subscribers. Such good editing and content.

You never cease to amaze me by what you come up with. Great job sir!

Lawnmower foot trim. Good part: Might work removing the heel blisters. Bad part: Might shave all the toes along with the blisters :)

The guards that drag the ground on the back of the mower are actually important. It's very easy to slip and have a foot go under the deck when pulling a mower backwards. I'll never forget the close call I had a long time ago before the guards were common. I wasn't hurt but learned a lesson.

Many years ago, I knew a kid in high school who got his foot caught in a lawnmower as a kid. Showed a few of us the scar in class one day. His foot was pretty mangled up, but he was still able to get around pretty good. Always be extra careful when doing yardwork. The blades don't care how attached to your limbs you are, they'll still try to rip them off regardless.

This deserves more likes, this man’s answering the questions and doing it in a entertaining way!

On the lawnmower test, the irony of the situation you presented would be you could have fell while trying to throw a fake foot into the mower while on the ladder =you losing your balance and falling and dragging the mower on top of you thus removing whatever appendages were available at the moment.Please get an assistant next time .There was a guy in California whose hedge trimmer broke .He used his lawnmower by picking it up and holding it against the hedges .Well he either slipped or couldn't hold it any longer and the lawnmower fell onto his crotch. True story ,the doctor whose job was to sew Willy Wonka back on his chocolate factory was my dad's Dr. .....moral of the story kids is please be safe ! Loved the vid 👍

The dude who was mowing barefoot is a madman. I won't go anywhere near an active mower with simple tennis shoes on. I'm wearing my boots.

This was a very informative video! I always where shoes when I mow, weed wack, or edge. Just because you never know what might happen!! Entertaining as well lol....

He got staring to the thing we wanted to see and didn’t make a 30 min video on this talking the whole time. RESPECT

The song was "plz don't talk about me when I'm gone"🤦🏻‍♂️😂🤣👣 fantastic choice.

That ballistic gel is pretty spot on. Our skin is really durable towards dullness.

Another great Chris Rollins video. 😁😁

We needed this

I hit the like for that very manly sound at the camera wobbling.

When I owned my own lawn care service, I had a dumb employee walk around revving the weed whacker. Well I was mulching a bed and he was trimming behind me. Not sure if he hit something and made the head hit my leg or if he was just that dumb. Still have my "cat claw marks" from it tearing the skin. Years later I worked for a million dollar company. The guy did well hiding his hangover and drinking on the job. A 10 foot retaining wall, and steep inclined leading to the wall with a drop off... He ran over the wall and fell off the wall. Mower was upsidedown still running on top of him. He reaches out and loses his hand. The speed of blade tips are insane. Even weed wackers have an impressive tip speed. This is a problem no one talks about. Everyone thinks because the blades are grass level, nothing will happen. Watch a video of some commercial mower accidents. A small stick could cause a cheap blade to bend, messing with the alignment, eventually slinging the blade out from under the mower. Anything and everything is fair game. Be safe cutting grass. Always make sure your attachment points are tight (nuts, bolts). Do not operate if you feel wobbling from the mower. Grease everything and wear PPE!!! People say "accidents like this happen quicker than an eye blink" and yes that's true. You'll get about 3 blinks in before something hits you. It's that fast. And never EVER think you know your equipment. When you get confident is when accidents happen. Be safe everyone

love how the dog is like : “why is my owner doing this what if he does this to himself?”

🤣I love the happy music at 2:15 while theirs a foot getting shredded.🤣🤣

3:30 doing something unsafe to prove how unsafe this unsafe thing is It’s very unsafe 😂😂 I love it

Good video before lunch.👌

Keep up the good work 👍

Great video

This is good stuff

this gave chills to watch

Great video!

This is cool!

Nice production value 👍

I LOVE YOUR DOG!!!!!

Great video Chris well done but my stomach doesn't think so.

Love watching your videos. It may be just my perspective on the TV it looks like your shed in the background was catty Wompus.

i love your videos very enternaining and cool

I recently retired from being a Paramedic for 16 years, my first year in EMS I ran a call where an older gentleman decided it would be a good idea to wire down all the safeties on his old riding snapper lawn mower, then mow his grass and when he would mow the ditch near the road in front of his house, he would get off the mower and push it up the hill, while the blades were still going. Well, his embankment going down to the ditch was about 10 feet tall and he is going along pushing the mower up it when he slips on some wet grass, the mower then proceeds to roll back down the embankment straight over top of him. The mower didn't shut itself off until the gas ran out and there was a rather gnarly spry of blood, bone hair and chunks of skin extending about 20 feet out from the discharge of the mower. He was found about an hour later by one of his few neighbors when then drove past his house and saw him under the mower. Remember folks, those safeties are there for a reason so don't bypass them and end up on the Darwin awards website.

Yet another quality video! Love it.

Had a good laugh. Liked.

Now imagine what commercial equipment does

"Or a weedeater as we call 'em in the south..." as a proud oklahoman i can confirm this

doing gods work

This reminded me of the old rescue 911 episode of the kid partly sliding under the lawn mower. That was brutal & stuck in my mind forever.

And I love your vids dude keep up the good wor

I like your videos bro

I knew a guy who lost 2 toes to a mower, when I asked him how, he told me he was walking backwards and tripped, pulling the mower onto his foot. Yes, he had shoes on. You might ask "Why didn't he let go of the handle?" The simple answer is that he couldn't. If you fall backwards while holding something, your instincts are to tighten your grip. You can't let go no matter how you try. I've always remembered this, and given this advice many, many times: *_NEVER walk backwards pulling your mower. ALWAYS release one hand and turn around to walk forward._* I hope I have saved some toes.

I was going to use a weedwacker on my pubes; good thing I watched your video first. Good looking out ✌️

great music

Somehow learning that not everyone calls them weedeaters boggled my mind

I knew someone who ran over his own foot with a lawn mower. Luckily for him he was wearing steel toe cap shoes but the blade went through the shoe and stopped embedded in his big toe. He ended up with a pretty serious injury to his toe but the surgeon told him the steel toe cap saved him losing several toes rather than the serious injury to just one toe

Last year the cable for the lever on my lawn mover broke so I would zip tie the metal lever at the bottem of the handle so that it could be started, the only problem being that once it was running it couldn't be turned off until the zip tie was cut or it ran outta gas... seeing this video I'm glad I never slipped while doing the hill in front of my house. I'm also glad i went out and purchased a new lawn mower, especially after seeing this video.

That lawnmower one actully happened to a neighbour. He had flipflops on and it sucked his foot in removed the front half then shreded it before breaking his ankle and so badly mangleing it he lost the whole foot. Had another guy in our area who tried to clear snow from a clogged blower and it caught his sleeve about midway up the arm and sucked it in removing the arm just above the elbow too.

a kid at my school lost his entire foot to a lawn mower when he was a kid . now he has a prosthetic foot.

Huh, Weedeateer, we call them that way up north in Canada too haha. 😄

I have seen a human foot versus a lawnmower in person. When I was a kid my mother was mowing the lawn and she kicked the mower and her foot slipped under it. Yeah it hacked her foot pretty good. Didn't loose any toes but it was a mess.

Just the other day I was starting the mower whilst hungover... Dam glad I put steel caps on because my toes were under the blade when it started. Hell of a fright tho

Played high school water Polo against a kid who lost his lower leg to a lawn mower. Great guy from what I remember

I met a kid in school that lost 4 of his toes to a lawnmower w/o the guard on. He only had the big toe left and people would make fun of him, lucky for him he had quite the punch.

This reminds me, I have to visit my garner in the hospital. He fell underneath my power mower.

Haha first time ive watched your videos and in texas terms im right around the corner from you. In more than one direction at that

Thank you for confirming metal at high speed means progressively less person.

Ouch....Just Ouch

You make a great point, the warning labels on the power equipment are there for a reason. But are those sunglasses safety sunglasses? What about hearing protection? Gloves? All stuff that tends to be shown on warning label stickers on said power equipment, and included in the operation / safety manual.

I have that exact same weedeater!

Kindergarten teacher, that was My neighbor, was mowing the ditch by her driveway in flip flops and slipped. Ms Quinn became Ms stubby in a millisecond. Kindergarten kids are brutal. She was a champ and the first kid to slip up in class and say that to her she just went with it and laughed. After she was better she showed the class her mangled foot and talked of mower dangers to the class.

1:40 well said. our skin is like the best protection. ask yourself why leather was used as an armor. :). so the damage on the ballistic dummys is also a bit too much then it would be in RL

"I hope you learned something"... I mean.. Yeah I guess I did? Foot + Lawnmower = Bad It's a pretty simple lesson but I've bought a microwave that had a "Do Not Eat" warning sticker on it before so apparently even the simplest lessons are still important.

"That was a manly sound" lol

Damn your account is so underrated

I knew a guy in HS who lost about 1/3 of his foot from just behind the ball of his foot forward. It was really frustrating to him because he was a really good athlete but he couldn't run anymore. He also had a bit of a limp which I always felt was going to lead to joint problems down the road. I have no idea if that happened to him.

kicking into that hole while the lawn mower is running is just stupid, but doing it barefoot is on a whole nother level.

Crazy respect to that guy who put his leg in a lawnmower for this guys RU-vid video.

A guy I know was mowing the lawn slightly drunk as usual with his small electric lawn mower. Suddenly a stone got stuck and the engine stopped. He turned the lawn mower to the side and pulled out the stone..... bad idea! The blade started turning again instantly and chopped the top part of his fingers off (right through the bones).

my grandpa once was mowing the lawn with crocs on, got his foot under it, only lost the nail of the big toe. he got lucky.

I always steel toes. It may offer some protection. Running shoes won’t do much against the edger or mower

“that was a manly sound” took me out 💀

Me watching this before going to football :- so it's a day off i guess

👁👄👁 - The confused dog 😭 lol

This made my toes curl 🤣

Hi my name is Chris I like your video

back in '06, one of my school homies was mowing the lawn when the grass clogged the mower and stopped the blade, leaving the engine running. My friend, not being the brightest of souls, shook the mower then tipped it on it's side and kicked it. The lawnmower shot the clog out into his face, he was startled, he dropped the mower on his right foot. He had 3 toes cut off, pinky toe inward, straight through his boots (no steel or composite toe). He scooped up his toes and his drunk dad berated him all the way to the ER. Apparently, there was no pain until he was halfway to the ER. They managed to reattach his toes, which healed up well, but he can't move those toes and has no feeling in them. Tl;dr friend kicked a mower, lost 3 toes, got them sewn back on, but lost feeling and functionality.

Well that is a gawddam bad day

It’s amazing how something with a thick edge becomes razor sharp at high rates of speed

Dad : "Son, go mow the lawn !" Son : Shows Dad this video and bails.

Back when I was a teenager my friend mowed lawns and I was standing at the edge of the grass and i was kinda pinned up against a large planter box thing, i thought he would stop, he didn't. Thank fully the blades weren't set low or I would have lost a big chunk of my right foot. I could feel the blade brushing the top of my shoes. He pulled away quick though when he realized it had gone over my foot. I got lucky that day.

i was one of those people who had a lawnmower accident, in my case it wasnt very dramatic. i stepped under it wearing a track shoe, all that happened was when the blade came around it hit my foot and stopped instantly, there was a loud clunck and about 1/4 inch of my big toe blew off, i say blew off cause the tip of my toe bone shattered and the pieces all went outward like shrapnel. it didnt hurt till i got to the hospital and the dr touched it and asked if it hurt. well it did like 5 minutes later cause the nerves were exposed and to this day a slight tap on it feels like a hit with a hammer. if it gets stepped on...... really painful other the that you can barely tell from looking at it

i wonder if his ladder and lawnmower table setup is OSHA approved?

My paternal grandfather was mowing when the grass was wet and the mower clogged. He reached in to clean it without turning it off and lost up to the first joint of the index finger of his right hand when he did so. This is accurate.

This was me but I was wearing tennis shoes as a kid. Foot slipped under the push mover and was helpless to pull it out in time when I was pulling the mower up a bank. Fractured foot in 3 places and couple dozen stitches on big toe. One toe was mangled but not lost. Unbelievable pain. 6 months later good as new.

Btw, standing on a ladder.. staring a lawnmower, holding it while trying to throw a "foot" into the mower looks so narley xD

If you want an actual example of a weed eater vs a person search for sick nick mondo. A death match wrestler who took one to the stomach. There is a short compilation that shows it. Dude did a lot of crazy stuff, but said that was hands down the most painful thing he did.

Throwing a dummy foot into a lawn mowers grass shoot.........whilst hanging from an A frame ladder. What part of that isn't "doing it right"? That gave me a chuckle!

I was using a bushcutter once on a Ryobi and at near full throttle the Bush cutter came off hit the grass, It threw itself about 10 metres over some decking then penetrating itself about 2 inches into a fence post.

My friend did this in highschool, was walking a push mower down the hill and slipped right underneath the deck with his foot. Lost a couple of toes, was wearing shoes and all. Now his balance is all messed up your toes are EVERYTHING when it comes to walking! so be careful anyone that push mows dont ever push it downhill!

Thank God I wear steel toes boots great video bro
