Is it true that lawn mowing has among the highest rates of injury of all home activities?
If so, what sort of injuries are we talking about? Are people cutting off their appendages all the time, or what?
Statistically, the home workshop produces more injuries than lawn mowers. There are some 125,000 injuries a year from workshop tools, and a vast majority of those are from circular saws, as opposed to some 80,000 lawn mower accidents. As far as the causes of lawn mowing accidents a large percentage is indeed foot and toe lacerations or amputations. Over thirty percent of these injuries happen to young children. Injuries from flying debris follows a close second to cuts.
