I've already said that. Re-read what I wrote. "To fall backwards while the mower reverses would be when you STOP. This means the blades aren't spinning."

I read what you wrote and it's just as wrong now as before.
Why does the mower have to be stopped and not backing up when you fall off?
Clearly you can fall off whether it's moving or not. Are you daft?

What makes you fall? You need to be shoved. That can only happen by the mower accelerating forwards or decelerating backwards.

People fall off chairs, stools and similar all the time. A drunk guy
falls off a bar stool, was the stool moving? A person has a dizzy
spell and falls off a chair, was the chair moving?

So why is this more likely in reverse than going forwards?

I never said it was, nor was that the issue.

That's what the OP was asking about, the blades cutting out when he reversed the mower.


No **** Sherlock. Of course that's what he was asking about,
he was seeking a way to bypass the safety so that he could move in reverse
with the blades running. But that has nothing to do with your
insistence that one can't fall of a mower backwards or that the
mower can't have the blades running with the mower not moving, etc.





And regarding the blades spinning, the whole issue was why some safety folks
thought an interlock to prevent the mower from backing up with the blades
spinning was the whole point.

But if it's stopped, they aren't spinning.

Obviously you don't even know how a riding mower works. The mower can
be stationary, not moving, with the blades spinning.

If the mower is stationary, how does it go over you?

That isn't what you said, nor what I responded to. This is what you said:

"But if it's stopped, they aren't spinning."

Which of course is wrong. You really are the village idiot. The guy's
mower has an interlock to prevent it from going backwards with the
blades spinning. If you try to do that, it kills the engine. He wants
to override it. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Because you can't fall under it while it's moving.

Of course you can silly rabbit.



You fall off the back when you stop the mower and you continue moving.


As all those examples I showed with bar stools and similar, you can
fall of something whether it's moving forward, backward or not moving
at all. Capiche?
