[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 477080, member: 439"] I never, ever cut grass with anyone (including the dog) in the yard. That's because I grew up cutting grass with a tractor with a 48 in cutting deck that had 3 blades. Any projectile coming out of that thing (side shoot discharge) became a deadly weapon. While I live in the "city" now and we just have a push mower, I still take the same precautions. When the kids got old enough to cut grass, they also were outfitted with heavy duty shoes, and steel toed as soon as I could fit them in them. I've seen way too many missing fingers and toes over my lifetime to take grass cutting for granted and not as a serious procedure. Heck, if I use the same criteria for a mower that we do for equipment at work, most mowers would never be used! (guarding, automatic stop of all stored energy, etc.). [/QUOTE]
