W28: Contact with powered lawnmower

Contact with powered lawnmower is a type of injury that occurs when an individual comes into physical contact with an operating lawnmower. This group of injuries can encompass a variety of forms and severities, from minor cuts and lacerations to severe injuries involving loss of the extremity or organ damage. They are often caused by inappropriate handling or use of lawnmowers, accidents during maintenance procedures, or sometimes due to mechanical failure. Symptoms can range widely, depending on the nature and degree of the injury, but they may include bleeding, pain, bruising, swelling, or in severe cases, amputation of a limb. These injuries primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, the musculoskeletal system such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones, and in severe situations, vital organs. The progression can vary, again based on the severity and type of injury, with some minor injuries healing on their own and more complex injuries requiring extensive medical intervention.
