It is so easy for a little one to get hurt. My little brother lost all fingers on his right hand as a toddler trying to "go for a ride" with my mom. It was horrible. He walked up behind her and she backed up not knowing he was there. She thought he was in the front yard with the rest of us. It happend so fast, as accidents often do. There was a little girl in our area last year, I think she was 4 or 5, lost her foot trying to get on with her Dad. I see it alot on my route, little ones sitting on their laps, or playing in the yard while they mow without an adult really watching them.I don't have the stats, but it is a common injury cause for children, either with flying debris or severe injury, so please if you do this, dont.</blockquote>
