A Warning about Riding Mowers

I bet this hasn't occurred to many of you, but here's an important safety message about riding mowers.

If you have a riding mower, be careful not to load it with explosives and then shoot a rifle at it.

Apparently, there is no warning label about that, so a Georgia man thought he'd give it a try.

Thanks, I will remove the explosives from my mower before shooting at it.

I'm glad I possibly saved your leg. :D

A natural selection of the clueless! Sometimes common since comes at a high cost! Hopefully he won't make that mistake twice!

He could try to sue the mower makers, but he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. :D

Where do they expect me to store all my explosives if not in my riding mower?

You're smarter than the average (US educated) bear.

Now I need to print up a label for my mower that says "WARNING: May explode if loaded with explosives."

I've already got one that says "How's my driving? Call 1-800-MOW-LAWN."

I'm sure people in other states, besides GA, do the same thing. Looked like a Craftsman mower, should have been done long ago.

Big problem out west with idiots causing range fires with it. Some of them have been billed millions for the fire fighting efforts and destruction. Unfortunately idiots usually don't have much money or property with which to pay.
