A sickle mower will also take a leg off of a man. My dad had a hired hand about 20 years ago that somehow fell off of a 5000 Ford and got his boot top caught in the last guard that stuck up on the end.

It took 1 and 1/2 hours for the ambulance to find the field. Thank goodness some neighbors came with towels and sheets to stop the bleeding. Yes, a sickle mower is at the top of the list of dangerous implements.
