Yin and Yang

There is a Yin and Yang with regards to man and machine. Sometimes the machine does work properly and sometimes man does not operate the machine properly. There is a resultant disconnect in the operation and the process breaksdown - sometimes resulting in a severe yard accident.

The Yin-Yang symbol represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white. They cannot exist without each other. While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak; "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the ying and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies (yin to yang and yang to yin), causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man believes that the concentration of the power equipment operator wanes with the operator activity leading to poor judgment. Furthermore, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man recognizes that power equipment manufacturers must seek to continue to improve the safety features of their products and deliver services to the increase safety awareness utilizing various approaches, so that the operator can get the safety message and strive to behave in a manner that minimizes accidents. Furthermore, the merchant who sells the power equipment should have a morale responsibility to educate their customer on how to operate the power equipment in a safe manner and to recognize when not to operate the equipment until the equipment is repaired. Indeed, yard safety requires a collaborative effort throughout the yard product life cycle.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man thanks the ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics scholars for their discovery of the Yin and Yang concept. It provides yet another consideration toward finding a cure for yard accidents.

Be the machine. Control the machine. Do not let the machine eat you.
