[AT] Interesting AC-B

[Spencer Yost]

Speaking of using a mower as a step.  I had a neighbor who lost his foot by stepping on a mower with very rusted out deck while the mower was running.  His foot went right through.

He died several years back with a prosthetic foot that he used very well.   He walked and used it like he had a sprained ankle but that was all.   He was old and this happened years before I knew him.
