Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, met with Santa Claus at the North Pole. Rescue Rick is an advocate and promoter of yard safety, in particular grass cut safety. So, Rescue Rick went to the North Pole to give the jolly Big Guy his wish list for Christmas. “As the Holiday Season nears, I decided to revisit Santa Claus to ask him for some gifts to spur my yard safety campaign. It worked when I was a kid,” winks Rescue Rick. “Santa Claus indicated that I have been a good man boy this year. Santa told me to believe and great outcomes will take place.”
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man provided Santa with his Christmas list below: (1) More awareness about yard safety (2) More yard safety educational tools (3) Establish and advance the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety foundation, society of lawn mower amputees, and yard safety crusaders. (4) Lawn mower and resources to ride across America to promote and communicate the yard safety message. (5) Fellowship and support with yard equipment amputees (6) Pet adoption: three-legged doggy amputee (7) No more yard accidents
“Santa told me that with a good idea, the money and resources will follow,” says Rescue Rick. “I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in miracles.”
Richard Mudrinich had a lawn mower accident that resulted in the partial amputation of his left foot. Consequently, he has created his character Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man to educate and entertain the public about yard safety. “Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in a life-altering outcome that sometimes includes amputation,” shares Rescue Rick. “I do not want this to happen to anybody else. Therefore, I strive to promote yard safety awareness.”
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals from lawn mower accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents.
Furthermore, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yard work accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people.
Think before you cut. It hurts! Be Yard Safe!
