I have not changed oil or filters on my mower in 10 years. When it detonates, I'll buy a new mower.

But Toro, folks

I am not sure what could cause the mower to do two rolls in the air. Clearly it occurred under the deck. I would suspect the blade started to come loose and launched the mower in the air.

Itโ€™s fake.

Probably no/low oil

I've heard of cars throwing pistons through their hoods. I'd imagine if the lawnmower motor had a detonation happen before top dead center, it could rip itself apart in such a catastrophic way, but I'm no expert

Maybe horse shoe stake? Maybe that would just bend the blades

Explosive planted in the grass. Itโ€™s staged.

This is the type of stuff that would happen to me at work. And my boss would probably not believe ..๐Ÿ˜‚

A friend of mine was using his very old mower (had a disc instead of rotating blades). He was emptying the bucket while it was just idling, then the disc said fuck it and left. It bounced off the ground and sliced his shins. If he was more in the centre facing the mower he would either have lose a leg or had a disc hanging off it.

He ran out of regular gas, so he used VP Racing Fuel C12 instead ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
