Here is what can happen when you go under a tree and the tree gets your hat.
I was mowing with the 8N and a 5' finish mower. I went under (more like through!) a cedar trying to mow it close. A branch caught my boonie and lifted it off while I was busy pushing other branches out of the way and trying to run the tractor. Could not hit the clutch in time, and I heard a big "WHAP!" as it went under the mower.
This is the second time this has happened in 11 years - first one was a straw hat from Tractor Supply. That thing had a death wish, always lifting off my head in the wind like a kite. I have a picture of that one too.
Oh well. At least I wasn't wearing it at the time. Be safe out there.
