I'm honestly amazed by how little safety equipment they were wearing while doing this. I wouldn't want to sit on that riding mower without at least a helmet, and face mask.

I once got a stick in the eye that was propelled from a lawnmower. It took out my eye, and the ironic thing is they replaced it with a wooden eye. I can still see out of it but the reception is a little grainy.

I've been blasted by an errant rock while mowing the lawn before. The force is easily sufficient to be serious, or even fatal in a flook incident.

@ludicrous7044 5 месяцев назад

I did yard work for 50 years on weekends and after a full time job. I had all the equipment for the work. Only one time I had a problem with a rock. It was about the size of a golf ball. It got under my 22HP mower and sailed into a school parking lot breaking out a window of an empty school bus about 35 feet away!😮 The bus driver came running to see what had happened. We were thankful no people or children were around which would have been bad. If I ran your mowers I would have a lot of safety equipment on!!☠️ I became more thorough checking for anything that would become a missile. The rock overpowered the safety door so I put sheet metal screws in it to hold it down. Thankfully nothing like that happened again. Don’t run lawn equipment in shorts and flip flops! Keep everyone away from you and wear safety glasses. Nobody in the yard and no free rides!!

Also have to watch out for bones. Hit an old dog chew bone with a zero turn and it became shrapnel hitting a wall. Would not want to be on the other end of that. Have noticed the deck design on the kobota tractor doesn't really fling rocks but the Husqvarna zero turn does like it's the main job it has. The tractor with lots more power feels way safer to be around.

I was working with my landlord, doing some landscaping on his properties, and I was raking up leaves while he mowed on a big riding mower. I got hit right in the face with a small rock about the size of a marble. Cracked my left orbital bone and left a huge gash in the skin. If it was just 2 cm to the right, it would have blinded me and destroyed my eye completely.

The fact that no one was behind bullet proof glass while they were testing makes me think they were pretty sure there's nothing to the myth before they even started.

Chasing the leader in an enduro race your getting hit (with body armour) in the chest by the bike spitting up golf ball size rocks going 180kmph. Even with Kevlar armour it leaves your whole chest blue from bruises.

Talk to Stephen King about lawnmowers..: his only foray into directing went horribly, horribly wrong when his director of photography ended up with blindness in one eye after a robotic lawnmower would respond to the remote during the filming of Maximum Overdrive… upon reading of the situations..: i wondered why they needed a actual blade attached to said lawnmower anyway… remove the blade and merely make the sound effects.

@janeilnold5863 2 месяца назад

Really surprised Adam was willing to stand behind that mower in the first place. Yeah, the majority of debris goes out the little shoot on the side, but I’ve been grazed in the leg by a piece of wood or small rock that shot out the back of the mower before. Didn’t even see what I mowed over and just felt the sting of the debris going through my jeans and scraping my leg.

Rocks or stones or little chunks of wire flying out from underneath a lawn mower are considered a perfect storm as a kid I had heard stories about people getting wires driven into their legs from push mowers Stones being propelled add surprising velocity it just don't happen all the time though trying to create a condition is nearly impossible

I would’ve thought they would’ve used a riding mower that would’ve been a lot easier to go over the rocks and a lot more likely that people would miss them. OK I was a little premature :-) but still I was thinking in between the zero turn and what they used.

Obvioussly not the same peeps, and or format. But a show of breaking down ideas and thoughts in ways of testing them, and by people with not really Science backgrounds.

@@johnnessuno6515 no. It has gone down considerably, but nowhere near what it was before. Prices have gone down like 60% but considering they more than doubled, it is still a good 40%-ish higher. That said, prices are falling so hard right now, multinational lumber companies are starting to cry that their market valuations are going down the drain. They wanted infinite growth for their investors and with prices crashing so fast, they are falling short on expectation all across the board. They made this mess with their insane price gouging, so it honestly only karma catching up.
