No, but I have cut a hill leaning into the slope looking like a racing sidecar rider.

Worked at Walmart in the garden center back in 96. Was loading up a riding mower in the back of a man's truck. I let off the clutch and it went full speed up the ramps. It fell over on top of me. Didn't get hurt but slightly scraped. The man was getting all over me, but it turns out the mower had an issue with the clutch, he thought I was playing around on it.

I had a female classmate of mine in 7th grade flip over a lawn mower in a ditch one weekend at her house.
We never let her forget about the week following.
Sorry no pics, she is married.

I have a fairly steep section in my lawn. When we first moved in, I was on an old Snapper tractor. It had no power. Stupidly, I was going up the steep section and essentially came to a stop due to rear wheels losing traction. Genius me decided to lean back slightly get more weight on the back.
Well, gravity took over and the front end lifted up, I bailed to the side, and the MFing tractor did a cart wheel front over back down the hill.
I was quite lucky to not be injured.

Lawn mower no, golf cart yes.

You mean like for fun? Yeah.

Doesn't the center of gravity need to be on the upslope side?

Was mowing our tank dam last year with our zero turn and got a little close to edge and rolled over into the tank, engine died when I came off the seat so wasn't too big a deal. Couldn't flip it back over so it was upside down until I could get the tractor to fish it out. Changed the fluids, pulled the plugs to flush the oil out and then it started right up, smoked for a bit but all was well. Couldn't have been a lot worse I'm sure, wife sure wasn't happy. Luckily none of the neighbors saw the whole thing go down, would never hear the end of it.

I've flipped over a couple of vehicles and some ATVs. Never managed to flip over a lawnmower or farm equipment. Those old rice carts were sketchy as hell crossing big levees.

I almost rolled one into the lake behind my house. The grass was a little wet. When I tried to make a right at the edge of the lake the wheel slipped and it started to slide head first in. I put the brakes on and had to go get the truck to pull it out.

Nope, but I’ve driven one into a pond.

I have a neighbor who mows his ditches like this but uses proper weight distribution, foot on the seat trigger hands on the wheel and leaning back riding it like a sail board. Tis a sight.
Another neighbor cleans his gutters walking around on the roof with a backpack blower. Kinda genius

Mow up and down slopes, not across.

Wilford Brimley (RIP) cut his own grass?

Any of of you guys ever flip a lawn mower?
Nope. But I’ve flipped a UPS truck in a busy intersection.

Done that too with a 1986 Mazda RX-7. A canal actually.

Honestly I bet he was sitting like that thinking if it started to go over he could use his foot like a kickstand. He was wrong.
