Why riding mowers may get redesigned
Five years ago, a Daleville man with a home-based daycare center, Orvil Reedy, inadvertently ran over one of his charges while cutting grass (and attempted to restart the stalled machine before seeing the four-year-old boy's legs protruding from under the mower deck). The courts have approved a $2.5 million verdict against MTD Products, which should–- the jury ruled–- have ensured that its mower blades stop spinning whenever the clutch is depressed.

It wasn't a "mistake". It was more of a typo.
And The Hook has my prior permission to perform such deeds.
Sick-
Hook snuffed you! They changed their mistake and deleted your post correcting them at the same time!
Gosh, Sparky! Sounds like you need an isolated cabin out in Montana somewhere. I find a lot of things to whine about, but children playing and having fun has never been one of those things.
Next, they should sue God for designing a man dumb enough to run over a child with a riding mower.
Sounds like one more reason not to have home-based day care (in addition to annoying your neighbors)
That story just makes me cringe! You talk about paying attention.
