Our lawn crew at work had a mower accident. Guy was going full speed on our unlevel ground. SCAG mower bucked operator off thankfully to the rear of the deck. Mower kept going. It slammed into a new Jeep causing $$$$. Those 0-turns weigh 1500lbs and do nearly 20mph.

Safety switches were disabled.

And you wonder why I am so pushy about having all the safeties working on my customers mowers.

I had a customer that brought a mower from a fly by night repair shop about 10 miles from that had installed the wrong safety switches. The customer was his lawn when he got knock off by a tree limb. The mower continued cutting grass until it ran into his wife's new car. Just lucky it didn't run over somebody while the deck was operating.

Those Scags have seat belts too.
I trim all low hanging branches on my property once a year.

I believe everything with a roll bar has a seat belt. If it doesn't have a roll bar, it won't have a set belt, either.
