My buddy's dad was always bypassing safety features. He got rid of the stupid bar to shut the mower off when you let go of the handle. He got sloppy one day trying to adjust a wheel and took the tips of his fingers off. I know that's not going to convince anyone that is going to do this sort of thing, just a revelant story
Quoted from Otaku:I hope you mean the adjustment was above the bottom of the mower, if he was adjusting a bolt or something and just barely missing the blades it was probably natural selection.
I'd lean toward natural selection. Maybe didn't have his coffee that morning? Frustrated with the kids? Trying to do too many things that day and mind was on the next job?
He was trying to adjust the wheel with one hand and grabbed under the edge of the deck with the other for leverage. The point is, that anyone could slip up just once, and as stupid as the safety feature is - it really prevents someone from having a very, very bad day.
