My brother was cutting the grass yesterday on our lawn mower (industrial type mower) and his daughters were the there. Something happened and one of them went under it. Luckily it wasn't head first but its still bad. She has lost both of her legs. She is only 11 and just started high school. She was talking fine etc yesterday but then she was put into sleep and both of her legs from the knees down where amputated. She hasn't wakened yet and she will be told at some time today.

Here's the mower we have:

Our house is just in shock. Phone ringing literally every 5 minutes. I'm heading down to Uni tonight as well for the first time.

I had to drive the mower down to our house yesterday after and there was no blood etc anywhere, which has really freaked me. My mum says my brother was covered in blood though :(

I'm just thankful she's alive.
 
My friends mum lost a leg due to getting it pulled into a potatoe plow all the way up to her thigh:(


I hope your niece gets better soon:)

I'm not sure yet, as everyone is in shock and I haven't spoke to my brother yet.

There isn't much room under the mower so I don't understand. Maybe about 3in at the most.

She must have feel or something and my brother didn't get stopped in time. Shes tall, but very skinny.

She was an Ulster-Scots dancer and she has been going to competitions recently and has been winning pretty much everything. Don't think she'll ever do that again.
 
Sorry to hear about that. Just be thankful it wasn't more serious.

I'm surprised this hasn't been on the news.

Jesus really really sorry to hear that. Really sad thing to happen a girl at such a young age
 
What a Horrible situation for you all to go through. My thoughts are with you all.
I am glad she is Alive & so should you all be. Hopefully she will adapt to her new situation without to much trouble. I really cannot imagine what you & she are going through but i still feel your pain.
Give her a Hug from Oc from me please.
 
Oh my god that is terrible.

My thoughts are with you, your family and of course your brothers daughter.
