How NOT to mow a hillside 1st day with the new mower

Already done the maximum height on the hillside, but daughter-in-law wanted to video. So I’m on my way in just a little bit higher.

Remember that spot for when it’s time to change the blades.

He’s the reason they have to put warning labels on everything

My dad and I were working on a newer mower some years ago when I commented on how many caution stickers were all over it, and how the manufacturer must think we are all a bunch of drooling idiots.
Dad replied “Son, for every one of those stickers there is at least one person who has done exactly what it’s saying not to do. Think about that.”
This guy proves dad was right again! :)

The fact that he's managed to live this long is sheer luck.

Dude sat on the mower like a perfectly melted scoop of ice cream on a cone.

I retired after 26 years in Fire/EMS, my very first month as a rookie EMT in a small north Georgia county I ran a call similar to this. An older gentleman had decided he needed to disable the safeties on his old school snapper riding mower. It was one of those that the blade wouldn't turn unless you had your foot on the safety pedal, and it had a weight switch on the seat. The gentleman had wired the weight switch in the seat together so he could get off the mower with it still running and had used bailing wire to hold the blade safety pedal down so he could get off the mower to push it up the embankment in front of his house to mow the steep incline. Well this particualr day, he had done so and the morning Dew hadn't quite dried up yet and so when he had the mower, with blades still running, almost to the crest of the hill, his feet slipped on the wet grass out from under him and the mower rolled back down on top of him. We figured the blades finally stopped when they had gotten down about halfway through his skull and began to chop into his shoulders and back. We found a recognizable piece of his left ear about 25 feet from the mower, not to mention most of his occipital brain matter in a gruesome spray pattern out to about 20 feet from the mower deck. The moral of the story is just because you've lived for a long time doesn't mean you can put your common sense on the back shelf.

His confidence vs the wife’s scream kills me

[minihead]

[jasintocarrasco]

I’ve always wondered what the bottom of one of those looked like good job sir

The mower tried as long as it could then said “fuck this” 😂

He thought to sit off to the side to counter his weight but he sat on the wrong side, he helped himself tip that thing.

First, don't do this. Second, if you are going to do it (like I did) you MUST put all your body weight on the high side of the grade. I used to sit on the side of the seat, leaning uphill. Never tipped the mower. One time the new HOA president scolded me about not having my grass short enough (there were no rules about grass height in the restrictions but he was picky). So he offered to mow my lawn once, for free, to get it shorter so I could more easily maintain it (I mowed it once a week, he said it needs mowed twice a week but I worked 60-70 hours a week and there was no way I was spending all of my free time mowing the yard!) After trying to mow the steep part, he quit, knocked on my door, and looked like he had seen a ghost. He informed me my yard was too steep for a riding mower and he's done. He never bothered me again. lol

The scream of a cheesy 60’s scary movie had me rolling and she never left to help 🤣🤣

True story...Friend got 1 of these and he used it when the dealership dropped it off for the 1st time, the guys from the dealership hadn't made it back to the shop before my friend drove it in the pond, he and his wife had to hire divers to get it out 😅😂
