I have a deck washing nozzle installed on the mowedeck so after cutting i just hook up a hose and run the blades and the water cleans the underside of the mower deck.Well earlier that day i sharpened the blades and noticed the deck had a little build up of old grass, after cutting the grass i did the normal deck washing.I flipped the lever to disengage the blades and walked over to turn the waterhose off as I returned to the mower I noticed the belt slowing to a stop, so when the belt completly stopped I reached up under the deck to check for grass clippings.Well guess what the belt stopped but the blades were still free spinning.I was in a rush to pick up the kids at school and wasn't thinking when i did it.I was just tring to hurry and rush ,see what that shit got me.Anyways I ended having to drive myself to the emergency room,passing right by my kids at school on the way,but i couldn't stop.I was fuckin passing out driving to the hospital.Dr. said I won't be able to feel shit in my finger tip but I am lucky that it has blood flow and I should be able to keep it....
