My second cousin had a mowing contract for the steep slopes above the spillway outlet of a federal resevoir. He was mowing one morning and they found him in the spillway outlet in the water with the mower upside down on top of him. All they would figure is that there was a lot of dew that morning and the mower slipped all the way down the hill, through the fence around the outlet, and then flipped over and dropped into the outlet about 50 feet below.
I was operating a roller on asphalt for a road construction company. Got in a hurry about quitting time and got to close to the edge. It rolled and I jumped towards the field. The ditch was steep and deep and narrow enough that it just rolled upside down and the depth of the ditch below field level kept it from rolling into the field and onto me. I landed just on the field. Another one of life's happenings where luck was with me. Any other type of ditch and I'd have been a pancake. The next day the veteran operators said I was supposed to jump off on the road side of the roller and not the ditch side. I was ok and we pulled the roller up right and all it needed was the steering stick straightened.
