These machines are loaded with warnings. He screwed up and died. Doesnt mean we have to outlaw riding mowers. We dont need to reinvent them either. Just need to keep reminding people that they are not to be used on side hills.

Please don't count it against"anonymous". I too feel that this was a real tragedy. I myself have a slope to mow and I have taken chances mowing it with my garden tractor. Sometimes in life you take chances and most of the time you win. I have learned from this man's loss and his family's loss. My sympathy goes out to his family.
