Just bought a new lawn mower (Bosch Rotak 40), and wondered if it was
necessary to wear goggles, or if new laws about safety requirements for
manufacturing mowers made this safety tip redundant these days.

If the 'shell' of the mower is covering the blade, I don't possibly see
how a stone/wood chip can shoot out at the angle required to hit your
eyes, without hitting the case first. Can someone enlighten me on this?

They're your eyes, do you want to take the chance?

Before I started lawn cutting full time I didn't wear protection either
but now I always wear a full face spraying mask when strimming and mowing.
