Default Some gardeners were harmed in the making of this program.

In the next bed was a man who had destroyed a toe on one foot and a
lot of the flesh on the opposite shin. He had slipped on a sloping
lawn, using a Flymo and slid his legs under the blade.
General anaesthetic and foreign holiday cancelled.

Just further away a professional gardener was hedge trimming at his
own property (using his employer's equipment). Using it one-handed, he
tried to catch a falling bough with his free hand but it had the
blades attached to it and destroyed a swathe of flesh on his free arm.
General anaesthetic and sick note


So, you won't be trying to beat this any time soon, then:
