I know of two.

When I was very small, the neighbor's kid was hit by a thrown stone and killed.

So that's one.

Which wouldn't have been helped by any kind of cutout switch.

A push mower can throw a stone just as easily. Neither of them would usually kill anyone. Probably just as likely to be killed by a fly entering your eye while cycling, causing you to be temporarily blinded and crash headlong into a tree.

Because of that, my Dad refused to ever have a power mower, so I mowed the lawn with a manual push mower until I left the house.

that's two.

How is it two? You weren't injured.


Whoosh!
A "push mower" is not a "power mower"
It works on muscle power.

Clare, just curious...

This is the second time today that you have responded to *my* response
to Mr. Birdbrain with a comment that seems to be directed at him.

I don't mind hearing from you, but I'm wondering why you aren't responding
directly to his (ridiculous) posts instead of mine.
Because I don't see birdbrain's posts.

No, because you want to respond to me even though you've killfiled me. You lack conviction.
