Lawn Mowing Close Call- Caught on Video

What started as a normal day ended with three very close affairs. For some reason, I have a GoPro attached to my chest. In fact, it was better than usual. It was 8:00 in the morning. The sun was shining, shining brightly. It was dry. Okay, since I'm from Minnesota, none of you Easterners have picked on me about my accent yet. So, I guess I'll tell you a little bit now, okay? We're going to set up a little trailer here and show you what we've got , but we can only mow for about half a day because we have a few thunderstorms coming our way. We weed eaters like to trim the grass around trees with them, and then we have 250- inch stands. We'll be, uh, on them. It's something like drag cars, uh, lawn mowers. So they are a lot of fun to mow and they can tackle those steep slopes with no problem. So today we're going to give you a quick tour of this...What do we have there, about 10-11 acres? I think we will mow 45 houses. It will be a fun day. We only have until noon before the thunderstorms come booming, but it should be a good day . The first thing we decided to do, because the rain was coming, was to mow...We have a steep hill that ends at the bottom of the pond. We decided to mow this hill before the rains hit us at noon. We knew we wanted to do this before the grass got slippery. We both started on opposite sides of the pond, mowing back and forth. And then, unbeknownst to me, Jake's lawnmower took a sharp dive and went all the way down, stopping just before it hit the pond. And about 30 seconds later, my lawnmower did the same thing. I took a dive and went all the way down, and you can see it while I'm filming it on my GoPro. I was twisting and it was sliding down into the damn water. Dude, you were sliding right in. It slid straight down. The stone bed saved you. And about what? Was that before I slid or after I slid? That was before. You... I must have been trying to take my thing off for 5 minutes before I saw you... I went sideways down the hill and hit the rock bed there. Oh my God, this is wonderful. We didn't realize what had happened was that a fertilizer company had come and I don't know what chemical they had used, but it looked like an oil slick. Literally, it didn't dry out, and it was like the Teflon coating on the wheels of our lawn mowers. How long? This thing is really slippery. I know. But it spilled this morning. Did you spill just by walking? Oh man, that's funny. We almost lost both lawnmowers in the pond. We didn't realize it was so slippery. That wasn't all the excitement of the day. We have a steep hill in this very same place . We have a retaining wall, a steep hill, and then another retaining wall. And the problem lies in the lower retaining wall that holds up the steep hill. If you step over it, the lawnmower will fall on your head and you will fall about 2.1-2.7 meters before reaching the bottom. It so happened that I went between the walls to start mowing. Everything went well. The first pass went well, turned around, came back. The second pass is perfect. Absolutely no problems. I went over to check on, um, Jake, and when I came back, I had already driven some more fertilizer. I even took the time to look down and make sure I had mowed enough of a flat area so that the fertilizer I thought was finally coming off my wheels was finally coming off my wheels. That's what I understand. I think it must have gotten a layer on my wheels or something, because when I turned around to make a third pass on that hill, it was gone. But this time I couldn't jump off the lawnmower safely. In fact, when it slides sideways, I try to start the lawnmower in reverse. The wall itself touched me. The wall caught my lawnmower and the lawnmower went up and down. And when the lawnmower went up, she picked me up and threw me onto the lawnmower. And if she had kept moving, she would have gone over the retaining wall and the lawnmower would have fallen on me. This is not the first time I have experienced a dangerous situation, but I want to hear from you about your dangerous situations. I want to hear about your dangerous situations because I know you've had them . I know there have been some ups and downs in your life . I'll push. You... You'll do the same thing you did last time. Okay, but are we going to drag her here? No, we'll turn it straight up, in your direction. Straight up? Yeah, we practice a lot of this, don't we? Two almost three. We had three dangerous situations this morning, and this...This is under conditions that we normally wouldn't have a problem with. So, a word of warning. If you go to mow your lawn and someone fertilizes your lawn and sprays it, I don't know what they sprayed it with, but this guy fell himself while spraying the slopes. That should tell me what the problem is. Of course, all these problems happened before I realized how slippery this stuff was and what he had sprayed on it. So, looking back, I'm confident. I want to hear your opinion. Tell me about your near- victory challenges. This should be interesting.
