The Origins of Rescue Rick
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." - Act ii, Sc. 5, Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare
Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. Bruce Wayne was transformed by the tragic death of his parents. The Fantastic Four were bombarded with Cosmic Rays. For Richard Mudrinich, of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, greatness came in the form of a lawn mower accident.
“In September 2003, I had a serious accident with a lawn mower. I was sent by life-flight helicopter from my local hospital in the Sharon Regional Health System to the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where I had a series of extensive surgical operations,” says Rescue Rick. His lawn mower accident resulted in the partial amputation of his left foot. “And I am grateful to all of the medical professionals for their care and talents. Nonetheless, I have had a long road towards recovery.”
But, like others of his ilk, Rick has shown true heroic mettle. Spider-Man and Batman lurk the streets waiting to pounce on those criminals who seek their victims by night; the Fantastic Four use their powers to foil Dr. Doom and threats from other dimensions: Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) is a “caped crusader” working tirelessly to prevent lawn mower accidents and to promote grass cut safety.
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) is no ordinary super hero! “I am compelled to present some preventive measures to significantly minimize the occurrences and magnitude of these costly, life-altering, mutilating and painful events!" exclaims our hero. "There are well over 100,000 lawn mower accidents a year. The estimated medical, legal, insurance and disability costs, and other expenses of these injuries, are well over 100 million dollars per year. I want to present preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from going through the dreaded experience of lawn mower accidents.”
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) presents some recommended actions (aPAL) as solutions to prevent lawn mower accidents.
AWARENESS – create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and recommend the implementation of preventive grass cut safety measures and procedures.
PROTECTION – wear personal protective equipment when grass cutting.
AVOIDANCE – hire a professional lawn service that absorbs the risk and implements grass cut safety measures and procedures.
LEGISLATION – propose new legislation (perhaps, The Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Act) that sets the minimum lawn equipment operator age at 16 with required grass cut safety education, introduces an operator’s license, launches various grass cut safety educational programs targeted at various age and occupational groups, etcetera.
