A Croatian man cutting his grass was saved by his lawn mower when it ran over and exploded a hand grenade.

Police said the 39-year-old man, who was not named, escaped serious injury when his lawn mower took the full blast of the grenade after its rotor blades set off the device at his home in Zagreb yesterday, according to the Croatian Times.

The extent of the man's injuries was not reported, but the lawn mower was destroyed.

Police speculate someone had thrown the grenade into his garden.

Really? And we thought it walked there on its own.

Well, the lawn mower didn't really save the man. It just set it off and absorbed the impact, but whatever. :P

That lawnmower should have the Purple Heart.

Whoa.  That's awesome.  Like it was said before, people are getting lucky.  Lucky them.

That lawnmower should have the Purple Heart.

Maybe so...

Actually, the fact the mower absorbed the blast doesn't surprise me.  lawnmowers are suppossed to keep shrapnel like rocks from being flung at you.

Thats certainly something you don't hear everyday.
I don't even know where in the world that country is...cause you know you wouldn't hear anything like that in this country.
