The authors report a series of preventable lawn mower injuries sustained by children. We assessed the mode of injury, range of injuries sustained and whether the injuries were preventable. Wide spectrums of injuries were noted, including thigh, leg and feet injuries. The need for a public education programme to prevent such injuries has been highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
