Hermitage, PA (PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Richard Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man" Mudrinich springs into yard safety for another season.

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.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) is a caped crusader" working tirelessly to prevent lawn mower accidents and to promote yard safety. The Spring Season has arrived. Growing grass needs cut, and I want to prevent outdoor power equipment accidents. In essence, I want to blast my public service safety message to create awareness so that people do not get hurt this season," shares Rescue Rick.

Rescue Rick (sm) is a renaissance yardman, utilizing various art forms to communicate his safety message. I want to educate and entertain the general public regarding the importance of yard safety. Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in life-altering outcomes that sometimes include amputation. I learned this from first-hand experience when I amputated part of my left foot while cutting the grass," shares Rescue Rick.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from the dreaded experience associated with yard accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yardwork accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. According to Rescue Rick, "Think before you cut. It hurts. I encourage you to heed the outdoor power equipment safety precautions and to promote grass cut safety!"
