Lawnmower accident

But sorry, what kind of complete idiot uses such machinery around young children. This is not an accident, it's stupidity and neglect. He should be locked up.

I was thinking the same thing, sorry if this has happened...but those things aren't toys, if there are kids running around the garden then the operator should have stopped. I wonder if the operator was drunk?

I think all members should seriously consider their comments before posting. It is VERY difficult to asess the validity of the OP.

People have commented on why to be doubtfull, whilst the serious nature of the OP deserves the thread to be treated carefully.

No one of sound mind would post such comments unless the point was true.

I expect the dons to take this seriously, especially Suzi. Please keep us informed of what you hear mate.


Best wishes

Davem

Indeed, you have some sort of training I'm sure ;) please direct my little blip on the screen to the right place!

Relating to the thread, it is on topic, and I'm sure a lot of us are monitoring the news (I am certainly). ATM the NI section of the BBC website has nothing new to report.

Best

this is very bad news, its threads like this that keep me away from the GD area of this forum, very tragic indeed.

but as mentioned above, how can anyone be silly enough to use a lawnmower like that when little kids are around playing. the child has paid the ultimate price because of someone elses stupidity. :(
 
Sorry to hear that mate; I don't know how i'd cope should something as that happen to me.

To the flamers, who through the what "Why did this happen", "Why was she there" - Do yourself a favour and stop it.. He posted here to say his experiance, and hopefully find support, not to be bombarded with questions.
 
I've read through a few pages and im not reading through any more. I feel sick at the though that people are trying to say this is bs, and also the fact that if it isn't in the news it isnt true.

It happened yesterday at about 12pm. I knew about it straight away but I thought she was okay because mum and dad were talking to her and said she was talking away etc. It was only this morning when mum came in that she told me both her legs are amputated from the knees down.

Out of interest, what hospital was she taken to? Craigavon?

She firstly went to Newry (Daisy Hill) then went to Belfast, Mum said dundonald?

And about the girlfriend thing, it just happened to be at the same time. I knew about it last night but doesnt mean I have to tell everyone about it, i didnt even know exactly what was wrong at the time (last night)

Someone also mentioned about why I posted the picture. I posted it so people wouldnt get confused with a normal lawnmower which I thought they would.

i feel sick

Whilst it is careless, people slip up sometimes? People make mistakes, day in, day out. A family friend "stupidly" drove back one of my most cherished friends to kent, a 4 hour drive, he was tired, he fell asleep at the wheel. My dearest friend died, the driver who is also a friend, did not. Do i blame him? No, because he'll feel enough guilt than anyone should have to bear. He took away the life of a gift to the world, with a wife and two children.

The blame game is an easy one to play, unless you've been in a situation like the ops/ops brother, me and many others. Theres a time to be sympathetic and a time to be judgemental, this situation deserves nothing but sympathy and support. Accidents happen, and will continue to happen, and whilst they can be prevented, they are often not. Be thankful that his daughter had a miraculous escape and wasnt taken from this world, its amazing what people can do in the face of adversity.

To kvfb97, your journey will be arduous, your brother will need you more than ever, be there for him, even when he doesnt ask for it. Most importantly, ease his guilt by making his daughter smile. She has tough times ahead, but with family support, anything can be overcome. I wish all the best to you, your brother and the rest of your family.

Take care.

I'd guess it's to do with posting on the recent load of anti OcUK forums that's been going on. no-one else has been pb'd in this thread, so I'd say they're unrelated

my condolences and sympathies to the OP's niece. I can't imagine what she must be going through right now.

Unfortunately stranger things have happened on the internet and people are naturally dismissive of a story so extreme, the normal human response to this kind of thing is to question whether it ever actually happened. Whether I end up seeming gullible or not I find it best to trust people who have nothing to gain from you by lying until I find out otherwise.

It must be a nightmare for your family, I hope they can regain a sense of normality soon.

Take care.
