General safety.

[Fred's mowing]

Although in this instance its horrific & hard to talk about, its beneficial to us all that we do.
I just noticed on Lawnclub this terrible , fatal accident.
In March, I spoke with this guy at the Melb garden show.
He was a pleasant, articulate fellow that obviously made a mistake.
It was extremely confronting to see the pics.
Obviously many of the ZTR drivers on here would be aware of the dangers of this type situation.
If you use one of these mowers, you probably should have a look.
Cheers Fred.

Sorry, Im a little confused to wether it is Ted the easy lift guy as reported by a member.
Just re-read the article & it says the guy was in his early/mid 20's, which Ted certainly was not.
Nevertheless, terrible accident that I thought was worth mentioning & there is nothing more important to safety than reminders, talking about it & keeping it constantly in our minds.
Cheers Fred.

That happened up here a few years back. The bloke ended up in a canal on oyster covered rocks with the ZTR on top of him and a rising tide.
