Smashed a car widow with my lawnmower

Took the lawn mower out and my car in the drive was fine. Go to put the mower back in the garage and the driver side window is smashed

I was mowing in the front the whole time so all I can imagine is I hit a stone with the mower (I had it on the very lowest height because I'm about to overseed).

It must have put out some hell of a force to smash a car window 30 feet away. Glad it didn't hit my foot.

That's why it annoys me to see people mowing and even string trimming in flip flops! I see it all the time. I wear thick leather steel toe workboots when I mow.

Found the stone in the passenger foot well. More like a pebble actually. Wonder how many ft/lbs of energy it had.

A few years ago my parents used to pay a gardner a tenner to mow the lawns. They did a few houses in the street so it was worth it to them. One day they came home to find a patio door shattered. You couldn't see through it at all. They just thought someone tried to break in untill the gardner rang up and said the same thing happend to him and they paid for it. Felt slightly sorry for them that all those tenners they had been paid wouldn't have covered it. Don't know if they had insurance or not but they paid it. Very honest of them I thought.

They should have liability insurance that pays if they are professional gardeners and not gypsies or something.
