Avoiding Dangerous Encounters With Mowing Machines
When it comes to proper lawn maintenance, risks to bodily injury are always present. The fear of getting a cut from an old rusty rake or nail is common, as is the scary prospect of a laceration from a garden lawnmower. For the most part, most injuries caused by human error while lawn keeping are often minor. The occasional scrape wont give you problems twenty years down the road. However, the actual process of mowing the lawn can cause serious long term physical injuries.
Perhaps the most obvious form of long term injury from manual work, lawnmowers are often at least partially responsible for back-related complaints. Through the repeated motion of pushing a heavy machine around your garden, you could be starting the process of gradual damage to important ligaments in your back, the results of which often won't become clear until it is too late. The truth of great lawn care is that grass should be cut often, by only a small amount each time, but whilst this is a sure-fire way to improve the quality of your grass, the frequent use of lawn equipment is a sure-fire way to develop ongoing back and muscle complaints.
A solution that often comes into play, particularly for larger gardens, is a ride-on mower, allowing you to effortlessly drive around the lawn, cutting as you go. Whilst there's no doubt that this removes the source of back injury, it unfortunately opens up an entirely new range of potential harm. Ride on mowers are renowned for speed, met with increased blade power that cuts quickly through overgrown grass. In truth, something with very sharp blades that moves quickly around your garden is an accident waiting to happen, particularly when it comes to children.
We've all done it allowed young children to ride along on the mower, unaccompanied or with an adult. It's hard to avoid the fact that children get excited by the idea of driving around the garden, but it is of course our children that are most at risk of injury. Most commonly, collisions occur when the ride-on lawnmower is put into reverse without adequate awareness of the surroundings, or when an on-board child falls from the seat. There's no denying the convenience and speed of ride-on lawnmowers, but it's hard to justify their use in an environment where your family is at risk.
So what is there to be done? Your family wants the benefits of a neat, organised garden, without the risks of repeated mower use how do you get the lawn cut whilst minimising the hazardous situation?
One fantastic solution is the use of home robotics to automate the grass cutting process. Products like Robomow a fully-automated robotic lawnmower can be easily programmed to head outside at a time convenient to you, trim the lawn and then return inside to be charged. These intelligent lawnmowers take the most obvious step to decreasing long-term injury they remove human interaction.
It's a technique that's been applied throughout the world for many years, particularly in manufacturing industries. Whereas an employee would once have worked in risky environments by hand, today powerful technology automates as much of the manufacturing process as possible. Simply put, humans are more fragile than machines so why not let our robot friends take the strain for us?
By removing human interaction and automating the task of garden management, Robomow ensures that back injuries and muscular pain are a thing of the past. What's more, an array of safety features such as sensor equipped bumpers and lift detection technology can quickly detect dangerous situations as they arise, forcing the machine to shut down until the potential risk is removed. These rigorously tested safety features are proven to work in more than ten year history of the mower, very few incidents of injury have been reported.
It's easy to think of home robotics as a way for us to avoid the responsibility of looking after the house, but, in truth, this technology has a vital role to play in ensuring our ongoing safety. Automated mowers are a full proof way of avoiding long-term human injury because, very effectively, we're never put in the potentially harmful situation.
