OK, I’m kind of stumped, here, but let’s see what we can pick at.
1: Was the lawnmower deliberately modified?
2: Was the lawnmower modified with the intention of being better (in some way) at cutting grass?
3: Was the lawnmower modified with the intention of doing something completely unrelated to cutting grass?
4: Was the lawnmower, prior to its modification, self-propelled?
Were they flying lawnmowers?
I know I’m repeating but i just want to make sure.
The lawnmower was not converted in some manner for the purpose of taking to the air, but the lawnmower was intended to take to the air?
ETA
Would a person actually be able to cut grass with this lawnmower?
-
Were they doing a crazy stunt using flying lawnmowers, perhaps to record and upload to Youtube, such as a recreation of the William Tell apple legend or maybe cutting someone’s hair?
-
Was there any Darwin Award-level stupidity involved?
Let me cover all these by saying it wasn’t a lawnmower that was modified to be something else, but something else modified to be a lawnmower.
Yes
Answer to Chronos covers the first Q
No, this lawnmower cannot cut grass
OK, you’re getting really warm, so may as well provide the deets.
This happened during halftime of a Jets game in 1979. Model airplane builders had an exhibition during halftime. One builder made his plane look like a lawnmower. He lost control of it as it was flying and it landed in the stands on a couple of unlucky spectators. One survived, but the other died later after being rushed to the hospital.
Wow, thanks for this!
I do remember reading about this case, now that you mention it. It was pretty nuts.
**After seeing an empty shop, a man angrily and impulsively smashes the windows. He does this in full view of other members of the public. He is apprehended by the police, but after hearing his explanation, the owners of the shop decide not to press charges. Instead, they apologized to him.
Why?
**
- Was the man attempting to save someone/something or prevent something bad from happening?
Despite the store being empty, was there some object inside the man saw?
Did the man used to live there?
Did he use some kind of object to smash the window?
No.
- No.
- No.
- Yes.
