Er..... how is cutting in reverse more dangerous than cutting going forwards?



Going backwards you could fall off backwards and have the mower go over
you. Going forward that can't happen, or at least it's much harder to
happen.


So, you're sitting on your riding mower, and then
put your riding mower in reverse, as you're sitting.
Fall off backwards? Well, I guess it's possible.


Actually momentum pushes you forwards.

My Dad used to see people pulling walk-behind mowers
backwards. He'd go have a safety lecture at them.
The walking mowers, much more dangerous if pulled.


No they're not. Nobody is stupid enough to keep pulling when it comes to their foot.
