Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man

About Me

My name is Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man. In September 2003, I had a serious lawn mower accident, resulting in the partial amputation of my left foot. I was sent by life-flight helicopter from my local hospital to a hospital in Pittsburgh where I had a series of extensive surgical operations. Consequently, I want to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of yard accidents. I am the only yard safety advocate acting as an individual in the world. Indeed, I am the first yard safety super hero in the history of the world. Furthermore, I am compelled to present some lawn mower safety measures with hopes to significantly minimize the occurrences and magnitudes of these costly, life-altering, mutilating, and painful events. Each year, there are over 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospitals 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. In addition, the estimated medical, legal, insurance and disability costs and other expenses of these injuries are over a billion dollars each year. I want to present preventive measures to rescue (hence, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) - a real-life caped crusader for yard safety) individuals and families from going through the dreaded experience associated with lawn mower accidents.Please visit my the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man website at http://www.rescuerick.com for additional information. Thank you.

My Interests

Yard safety awareness. I would like to be awarded the Nobel Prize, the Horatio Alger Award, etc. to validate and to amplify my yard safety awareness message. Foremost, I want to rescue people from experiencing a yard accident.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to share my yard safety awareness message with the entire world. I want to find a cure for yard accidents. I want to reach out to other individuals, families, and institutions who have experienced a yard accident.

Music:

I am a renaissance yardman who utilizes various art forms to communicate the yard safety awareness message. Likewise, I appreciate all music as a venue to educate and entertain.

Movies:

I am making the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man movie. It is a real-life human interest story of a man faced with great adversity who wanted to make a difference.

Television:

I do not own a television at this time. I create my own television programming in my head. I am developing The Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Show each day.

Books:

I am writing the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man comic book, novel, and yard safety booklet.

Heroes:

I see a hero in everyone.
