The purpose of this website is to educate and promote grass cut safety and to create awareness toward the prevention of lawn mower accidents.In September 2003, I had a serious lawn mower accident, resulting in the partial amputation of my left foot. I was sent by lifeflight helicopter from my local hospital in the Sharon Regional Health System to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh where I had a series of extensive surgical operations. I want to thank all of the medical professionals for their care and talents. Nonetheless, I have had a long road toward recovery.Consequently, I want to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, I am compelled to present some preventive measure with hopes to significantly minimize the occurrences and magnitudes of these costly, lifealtering, mutilating, and painful events. I want to find a cure for yard accidents.Each year, there are over 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC reports that hospitals treat more than 400,000 outdoor gardentoolrelated accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics show that yardwork accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. In addition, the estimated medical, legal, insurance and disability costs and other expenses of these injuries are hundreds of millions of dollars each year.I want to present preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from going through the dreaded experience associated with lawn mower accidents. Also, I encourage you to heed the lawn mower safety precautions and promote grass cut safety. Think before you cut It hurts
