Wendy says it's a true story, but I think it sounds like an urban
legend.

Nonetheless, it's still kind of cute:

This guy came into
an emergency room with all fingers (less thumb) on both hands
amputated.

Turns out the man hadn't had clippers or a hedge
trimmer and decided to use his *lawnmower* to clean up the
hedges.

A little while later, ANOTHER man with the exact same
injuries came in.

The 2nd man told the ER, "I saw my neighbor
trimming the hedge with the lawnmower and thought I'd try it."
