Abstract:
Accident investigations and subsequent hazard analysis studies of power mower accidents conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), indicated that the current version of the American National Standard for Turf Care Equipment - Power Lawn Mowers, Lawn and Garden Tractors, and Lawn Tractors - Safety Specifications (ANSI/OPEI B71.1-1986) might benefit from review and/or revision. The analyses indicated control activation, placement and/or operation may have contributed to a number of the accidents reviewed. Accordingly, special emphasis was to be focused on review of Part III: Ride-On Mowers, Lawn Tractors, and Lawn and Garden Tractors, paragraph 13., Controls. This paper describes the approach utilized in development of the inputs to update ANSI/OPEI B71.1-1986. Additionally, the paper describes a brief overview of the voluntary standard review/acceptance process.

Abstract:
Riding-type lawn mowers are involved in many serious accidents, including about 100 fatalities each year. Many of these accidents involve loss of control on a slope, resulting in the mower tipping or sliding, or the operator falling. This paper discusses a project which evaluated the potential of operator warning devices as a safety countermeasure. It discusses the nature of slope-related accidents, the associated human factors concerns, and recommended approaches.

Abstract:
Since The Mid 1960s, The Popularity And Use Of Riding Lawnmowers And Lawn & Garden Tractors In The United States Have Grown Steadily. With The Growing Popularity Of These Machines Has Also Come Increased Numbers Of Riding Mower-Related Accidents, Including Children Being Backed Over Or Run Over And Injured By The Mowers Spinning Blades. Reconstructing Such Child Backover Or Runover Blade Contact Accidents Requires The Forensic Engineer To Pay Specific Attention To Certain Factors That Are Unique To Such Incidents... While This Paper Provides Background Information About Child Backover Blade Contact Accidents, And Provides Information About No-Mow-In-Reverse, The Primary Purpose Is To Offer A Tool That Has Been Found To Be Helpful And Effective In Organizing, Analyzing And Displaying Information, Time-Related Events And Travel Distance Data In Off-Road Slow-Moving-Event Accidents, Accidents Such As Child Backover Blade Contact Accidents, So That A Reasoned Reconstruction Of The Accident Can Be Developed, A Range Of Assumptions Can Be Studied, And What If Questions Can Be Isolated And Compared - All In A Format Understandable To The Layperson.

Abstract:
Abstract Background According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, there are an estimated 9,400 riding lawn mower injuries in the United States in pediatric patients per year. Previous case series report a 7-12.5% infection rate after injury. We report our experience of lawn mower injury-related infections over a 4-year period. Methods Cases of lawn mower injury at our center were identified by the ICD-10 code W28.XXXA for contact with a powered lawn mower between 2017-2020. Patient demographics, injury background, microbial results, and antimicrobial use were collected via manual chart review. Results During the 4-year period, 25 patients presented to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh who had a diagnosis of lawn mower injury. The median age of the patients was 6.5 years old. Most cases sustained foot injury (68%, 17/25), followed by leg (24%, 6/25), and hand or arm (24%, 6/25). Perioperative antibiotics depended on the extent of the damage, intent to amputate or salvage a limb, and extent of obvious contamination. These included 24-48 hours of piperacillin-tazobactam for 44% (11/25) of patients, ampicillin/sulbactam for 32% (8/25) of patients, and cefazolin for 24% (6/25) patients. Four of the 25 patients (16%) had infection after the initial injury as defined as growth of organisms from a wound culture collected more than 48 hours after the initial injury and debridement. Antimicrobials for the treatment of infection were further tailored to the culture results. From the four patients with infection after initial debridement or amputation, pathogens included: Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, Myroides odartus, Stenotrophomonas, Prevotella, Aeromonas, Coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Enterobacter cloacae, Sphingomonas, Bacillus species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Rhizopus, and Trichosporon. Conclusion Infections after lawn mower injures are infrequent with early, aggressive surgical debridement. However, infections following lawn mower injuries are frequently polymicrobial and involve a wide variety of pathogens. Obtaining repeat cultures during subsequent surgical debridements can be useful to track persistent growth and identify new and uncommon pathogens. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:
Examination Of A Commercial Riding Mower Found Intermittent Function Of Seat Interlock Switch In That Powered Rotation Of Blades And Drive Wheels Would Occasionally Occur When Operator Left Seat. Testing Confirmed That This Magneto Shorting Seat Switch Would Occasionally Show Open Or High Resistance Across Contacts When Plunger Was Released By Seat. Evidence Of Opposing Expert Alleged Switch Plunger Binding Due To Galling Was Not Revealed During Testing. The Mower Design Resulted In Leaking Battery Acid Contaminating The Seat Switch Terminals. Extensive Switch Testing And Analysis (Including Dynamic x-Ray Viewing, Sem Imaging And Energy Dispersion, And Chemical Sampling) Revealed Sulfuric Acid Contamination And Corrosion Of Switch Internal Contacts That Inhibited Consistent Electrical Continuity. Concluded Was That Mower Design And Maintenance, Rather Than Off The Shelf Switch Design Flaw Was Cause Of Accident, Which Affected The Civil Trial Outcome.

Abstract:
This paper explores an infrequently encountered hazard associated with liquid fuel tanks on gasoline-powered equipment using unvented fuel tanks. Depending on the location of fuel reserve tanks, waste heat from the engine or other vehicle systems can warm the fuel during operation. In the event that the fuel tank is not vented and if the fuel is sufficiently heated, the liquid fuel may become superheated and pose a splash hazard if the fuel cap is suddenly removed. Accident reports often describe the ejection of liquid as a geyser. This geyser is a transient, two-phase flow of flashing liquid. This could create a fire hazard and result in splashing flammable liquid onto any bystanders. Many existing fuel tank systems are vented to ambient through a vented tank cap. It has been empirically determined that the hazard can be prevented by limiting fuel tank gauge pressure to 10 kPa (1.5 psi). However, if the cap does not vent at an adequate rate, pressure in the tank can rise and the fuel can become superheated. This phenomenon is explored here to facilitate a better understanding of how the hazard is created. The nature of the hazard is explained using thermodynamic concepts. The differences in behavior between a closed system and an open system are discussed and illustrated through experimental results obtained from two sources: experiments with externally heated fuel containers and operation of a gasoline-powered riding lawn mower. The role of the vented fuel cap in preventing the geyser phenomenon is demonstrated.

Abstract:
Overwhelmingly, research indicates that there are thousands of injuries each year related to the use of lawn mowers. Riding mowers have specific injury scenarios such as when a child is run over by the riding lawn mower when it is in reverse with the cutting blades engaged. In conjunction with ANSI B71.1 implemented in 1986, various designs have been employed to attempt to reduce or eliminate this injury pattern. An alternative design has been built which incorporates both mechanical means and human factors methods to accomplish this goal. This paper will outline the existing commercially available designsA as well as the authors’ alternative design by comparing each design feature and its corresponding safety philosophy.

Abstract:
Abstract The design process for the development of a new line of rear engine riding lawn mowers is described in this paper. In order to optimize the vibration behavior of this product, it was necessary to define a quantitative measure of the operator perception, or the “feel” of the vibrations at the operator/vehicle interfaces, i.e., the steering wheel, the footrests, and the seat. A Goodness of Vibration factor based on frequency weighting was devised for the design process. This quantitative measure in conjunction with the analytical/experimental tools of spectrum analysis, modal analysis, and finite element analysis during the design process are shown to produce a comfort optimized mower system. The Goodness of Vibration factors are shown to constitute a generic process which, in addition to quantifying the operator perception of vibrations, also help guide the product design process because of their direct relationships to the modal behavior of the system and also to the excitation spectra. This generic approach may have applications to the design process for other consumer power equipment, beyond the mower design demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract:
This paper explores an infrequently encountered hazard associated with liquid fuel tanks on gasoline-powered equipment using non-vented fuel caps. Depending on the location of fuel reserve tanks, waste heat from the engine or other vehicle systems can warm the fuel during operation. In the event that the fuel cap is not vented and if the fuel is sufficiently heated, the liquid fuel may become superheated and pose a splash hazard if the fuel cap is suddenly removed. Accident reports often describe the ejection of liquid from the fuel tank opening as a geyser. This geyser is a transient, two-phase flow, vertical jet of flashing liquid. This could create a fire hazard as the geyser could result in splashing flammable liquid onto any bystanders. Many fuel tank systems are vented to ambient through the fuel tank cap and, in addition, may incorporate other features that contribute to pressure relief. Venting of the pressurized vapor inhibits the vapor-liquid mixture in the fuel tank from achieving thermodynamic equilibrium, thus preventing the formation of a superheated liquid. It has been empirically determined that flashing two-phase flow can be prevented by keeping the fuel tank pressure below 1.5 psig. However, if the cap is not vented or vents at a lesser rate than the rate of liquid vaporization, pressure in the tank can rise and the flammable liquid can become superheated. This phenomenon is explored here to facilitate a better understanding of how the hazard is created. The nature of the hazard is explained using thermodynamic concepts. The differences in behavior between a closed system and an open system are discussed and then illustrated through experimental results obtained from two sources: experiments with externally heated fuel containers and operation of a gasoline-powered riding lawn mower.
