Picture it. A crewmember is edging a suburban lawn, working his way toward the corner while he zeroes in on the job. Wearing ear protection, he’s focused on the finish – and he doesn’t see the young boy barreling up the sidewalk. Suddenly, the edger fires back as it hits a root, and the guy loses control of the equipment just as the boy is passing him. The blade catches the kid’s leg and suddenly, the ambulance is on its way.
