Fortunately FWIW to your head, the bailment law isn't applicable as the
temporary loan of personal property doesn't even constitute a

I conclude that I'm not gonna lend my lawnmower to either of those

Screw what the law books say. Guy law says that if you borrow a tool and
it craps out, even if it wasn't entirely your fault, you go the extra
mile to make sure the owner is made whole. If I borrowed a friend's
mower, and it came out of the car in non-running condition, I'd offer to
pay for repairs. Even if he did something that made it worse out of
cluelessness.
