Dangers of Mowing near trees

[Acesn8's]

Yesterday I started mowing the lots across the street, there is one humongous oak there and the back side is dying.
I had made a few passes near the oak but when I got closer there was a large overhang and had to push it away as I went by.
I felt something hard and heavy hit me on the head I actually saw stars like in the cartoons then everything went black.
Spent four hours in ER xrays and catscan, doc wanted to staple the wound or there would be a scar. Had him put a bandage on got a pain shot and prescription .
I am glad the jagged part of the limb missed my head.

Man I'm really glad your okay.
My BIL sister's husband was killed around Willis, Tx on Monday while cutting down a dead tree and a limb fell while he was cutting hitting him on the head and killed him instantly.
You got to be really careful in all you do..just never know what can and will happen.

What exactly happened? You knock down a "Widowmaker?"

Get well.

Good to hear you're okay. One day as the lawn guys were mowing our backyard, I heard glass shatter, I went into the living room and turns out the mower blade hit a screw or some piece of metal on the ground and flung it at our window hard enough to shatter glass.

[M. Sage]

You're lucky it wasn't worse. They call those widowmakers for a reason!

I was going to say 'roots' because I've run over them and broken mower blades. YOUR situation was worse. Never had any branches try to give me a concussion. Glad all you got out of it was a headache and not something worse.
