Frightening omission

Friday afternoon of last week had an event I neglected to include.  I was on the deck when I heard a man call for help.  I didn’t know who but ran to get my Crocs and continued to the area.  I saw a neighbor doing a split  over the top of his riding mower.  He had lost brakes and control in his back yard which was 3-400 yards up the mountain.  He had rode the mower down the hill picking up speed all the way.  He was probably doing 30+ MPH and had to decide whether to go right up a small hill into a yard or follow the road to the highway.  He chose the yard.  The hill  caused him to slide off the seat into the above described position.  He could not free himself so I and another neighbor woman had to do the job.  I had to lift his large frame off the mower but was able to just roll him over onto his back.  I thank the Lord that I had been outside because I would never have heard him.  The next day I was going to drive up the mountain to check on him but saw him walking with only a mild limp.  I haven’t seen him since but expect that he was hurting more 2 days after the event.  I told him he would not have to go to Dollywood this summer because he had already done his time on a roller coaster.
