This picture should be enlarged to see the poorly drawn details of this dangerous experience. A couple weeks ago, we were on our way to our son's piano recital. As we approached this yard, a man was riding his lawnmower up the grassy bank (see poorly drawn arrow by skid marks in the dirt). My husband and I both said at about the same time--"that looks dangerous!" About that time, the mower flipped over--trapping the man underneath it--right near the drop off to the ditch below (see poorly drawn illustration). We stopped--another vehicle who saw it also stopped--and helped the man get from under the mower and back up the bank. His arms were scratched up (which he said was from mowing around trees) and he seemed a bit shaken up. Just a bit further, and he and the mower would have gone over the ledge to the ditch--a drop of 8 or 10 feet--doubtful he would have walked away (even shakily) from that.

Wow! That's quite a story! The man was lucky there were so many folks around to help out. Love your stick figure...he adds to the tale!
Good thing you were there to help! I am sure appreciated it to no end!
Lucky he didn't fall any further and that you and the other people were there to help him.
Incredible story. I am so glad you and the other passerby's were there to help him. A photograph with true meaning and a survival story...wow!
What was he thinking? Glad you were there to help. I love your explanatory diagram!
Yikes! Dangerous indeed. I hope he doesn't try that again. Nice illustrations you've added!
What a terrible experience. That man was very lucky that you guys were there.
Oh my, that's definitely a dangerous thing to do!
I love your illustration. I like to make fun of the warnings on stuff but this just goes to show they need to be bigger and even more graphic.
