Have a rental a couple houses down. Woman yells at kids (9 year old daughter and 14 yr old son who should be mowing the damn lawn but anyway) to get anything off the lawn they want to keep in one piece.
10 mins later mower fires up (newish 500e briggs masport from bunnings with the lightweight 2 blade quickcut bar set up) after stalling 10 times on the thick weed clumps there is a god almighty crack (mowed 2x hulahoops)
2 minutes later there is a deafening boom and the motor stops dead.
Son calls out "mum are you ok?"
She replied "I am fine... but your football is f***ed"
I felt more sorry for the mower
