Hmmm - does it say how bad? Is it considered Controlled Flight into Terrain
(CFIT) or Controlled Mow into Things (CMIT)? Would it help if I filed a
ASRS after such an incident? It's not like it is intentional or anything.
Sure, I may let the grass get a tad high before mowing it, causing me to
mow under marginal visual mowing conditions, but there are always
extenuating circumstances.


My lifelong dream is to get one of those mowers that mows
automatically while I sit up on the porch in air conditioned comfort
with a Jack Daniels in one mitt and a remote control joystick for the
mower in the other. :-)
