My sister-in-law had her husband remove the deflector on the discharge of their riding lawn mower and I tried to tell her how dangerous this was. Any help?

Find out what brand of mower they have and ask blade speed. Small riding tractors can have blade tip speeds of up to 180 mph. Speed goes up with tractor and engine sizes. Removing the deflector is very dangerous, especially if something like a rock comes out of the deck at 180 miles per hour.

Pretty fast, I got hit by a stone once and it left a big red welt and a cut on my thigh. Removing it is dangerous. It should be replaced. I can only imagine what could have happened had it hit me in the head or eye.

Fast enough to NOT survive the next day. apparently some woman was only saved by her breast implants. otherwise the object would have gone through her hart!
