Amazing fact #138
Robert Heinbaugh of Plainsville, Ohio, has the distinction of being the first person in the world to be shot by a lawn mower... As he cut the grass one evening, he ran over a live bullet which went off and shot him in the foot. It made for a good newspaper headline, but it's far fetched. If the slug lodged in his foot, it was probably flung there by the mower blade. When a bullet is "fired" outside a firearm, the bullet, being heavier doesn't go very far. The shell case, being lighter flys farther and at a higher speed. I don't have the reference handy at the moment, but my recollection was that the experiments documenting this were done by the miilitary using 30-06 ammunition.
