Why is it important?

Lawn mower injuries continue to be a source of regular injury including severe life altering injuries particularly in young children.

Perspectives

We wrote this paper because we see children with serious injuries like amputations come to the hospital every year. We would like to explore whether we can reduce or eliminate such injuries in the future.
