Anyone else wear safety glasses while mowing?

I know it sounds silly, but last week a tiny rock shot out from under the mower deck and nearly took my eye out. Since then I've been wearing safety glasses every time. Anyone else do that? Or am I just a paranoid safety freak?

Nah, you're not paranoid. I've been preaching this for years. I always wear my PPE, even when it's just a quick trim. Once saw a guy get a nail stuck in his cheek from a weed whacker. Safety first, always.

Totally agree. I've had too many close calls. I actually wear a face shield when using the string trimmer too. Better safe than sorry. Plus, it keeps the dust out of your eyes when it's dry.

I just started wearing ear protection too. My ears ring after mowing and I'm only 30. Wish I'd started sooner. What do you all use for hearing protection?
