Can we Mow over another Lawn mower, Super Tall Grass, watermelons & Pumpkins? Lets Try!

What happens here

The presenter, 'Dirt Monkey', introduces the project, stating the goal is to 'mow a lawn mower'. He humorously emphasizes that the participants are 'professionals' and viewers, especially children, should not attempt to replicate this dangerous activity. He outlines the critical requirements for such a 'project', including ample wide-open space to account for flying shrapnel, mandatory safety gear for all participants, and even a (jokingly presented) emergency medical staff on standby. The 'victim' for this demonstration is revealed to be a new Ryobi 20" Cordless Lawn Mower.

Goal: Understand the premise and extreme safety considerations for the destructive demonstration.

Tools and materials

  • Emergency Medical Supplies — Addressing potential injuries (humorously mentioned as band-aids)
  • Safety Gear — Protecting the body from shrapnel and impact
  • Safety Goggles Stihl — Protecting eyes from flying debris

What they say

I'm the dirt monkey and today we're going to mow a lawn mower. And kids, before we get started, remember we're professionals. We know exactly what we're doing. So, what are we waiting for? Let's get started. [Music] What are you doing? Sharpening blades. [Music] Now, to mow over a lawn mower requires a few different things. The first thing is plenty of wide open space because we anticipated that there could be shrapnel flying pretty far when we're done with this thing. The second thing is we required everybody that was there to have safety goals and other safety gear ready to go. Third thing, we even went so far as to have emergency medical staff on hand just in case something bad happened. All right. Well, technically the emergency medical staff was Brian from Brian's Lawn Maintenance with a package of band-aids, but in my book that still kind of counts. And the last thing that we need to do this right is a victim. So, let's see who the unlucky winner of that one was. [Music] I've got to say before we get started, this video is not sponsored in any way, shape, or form by Ryobi. Ceramic pumpkins, watermelons, or flower plants. Or right or we got nothing to do with this. So, is that is this actually a functioning lawn mower? That actually works pretty good. [Music] What are you doing? Sharpening blades. The battery is safely removed, right? Yep. No batteries allowed. No batteries.
