When the lawnmower type was specified, riding lawnmowers caused the majority of injuries (72%). The most common mechanism of injury was related to slipping under lawnmower\/being run over (51%). The most common injuries were lacerations (36%), fractures (27%), and amputations (22%); lower extremities were injured more frequently than other body areas (62%). The majority of patients (76%) required hospitalization with a mean length of stay (LOS) of 9.7 days and a mean number of procedures of 4. Complications included 6 infections, 1 tissue necrosis, and 1 death from hemorrhagic shock. Riding-lawnmower injuries were associated with younger children (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001).
