I always wonder about what is in those weeds, brush, bushes and trees. I always have someone’s property to mow and it usually is a new property to me. Yes the T post, short stumps, rocks, cement chunks, rebar, tires, rims, cable, barbwire, beehives. Wasp nest, snakes and manhole covers. You name it it is out in that field that has nothing in it according to people that own it but have never cut it. This subject gives a me a wow factor. Humans are not that sound of sleepers. She had to be there for some time before. 1. There would have been a trail. 2. The grass around where she slep would be pressed and the operator would have seen this and become very cautious. I know I do. 3. The operator has the responsibility of operating the tractor. 4. Impossible to know the conditions of this person before the accident 5. As said the family is using this as a paycheck 6. No reasonable responsible person would sleep there 7. Today they will find the operator and company liable for something. It happened in California.I've run over a lot of hidden stuff with a brush hog. Just this year I ran over a HD 4ft T post securely in the ground in 5-6ft weeds.
Made one heck of a racket. Luckily I was riding with one hand on the draft lever and damage to the machine was minimal.
The reason I'm bringin this up is a news story I just read here > California homeless woman killed in gruesome lawnmower mishap, family demands answers
