Nearly killed myself on my Raptor today (literally)

So a friend of mine has a small 5 X 8 single axis utility trailer and he brought it over to load up my Raptor (wanted to try it out on his lawn). It loaded up with no issues so we headed over to his house to start mowing. Unbeknownst to me, while I was climbing on the mower (still on the trailer) he un-latched the trailer from the truck while I was starting the mower. As I began backing up, the front of the trailer came off the tongue and once the back hit the ground me and the mower tipped backwards and I was looking almost straight up. I'd guess if it were to have tipped a few more inches i would have had a nice shiny 600+ lb.mower on top of me. Luckily, it fell forward.

It's amazing how a couple of mental errors can turn a seemingly safe and simple act into a potentially life threatening one. I most definitely learned a few lessons and so did my friend.

Just wanted to get that off my chest (no, not the mower) :/
