Okay, can't believe I'm admitting this... during the 3-wheel rider safety course - yup, my TG 'Beast' threw me, THEN ran over my foot. So for those who still wonder, they CAN fly a wheel! LoL

actually parked once on my right foot. really surprised I did not feel a thing . Only noticed when I tried to move the leg. Easily moved off the foot. Have not done it since. Also blew the breaker in reverse one time. Forgot to take the brake off. Only one time thing for that also.

I drive it in & push it out... Never had any reason to get my feet near the wheels UNLESS I'm using my foot as a wheel chock!

I push it out from the front and drop it into 1st when I get it where I want it. So I can say that I have NOT run over my own foot yet.

HOWEVER!

Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s Honda made a 3 wheeler ATV. Big fat balloon tires, 90 CC. Fun little things to ride. And yes, I did try running myself over more times than I care to think about. Getting both feet under the wheels while going forward under power NEVER proved to be a good idea.

Yeah, I hated those ATC 90s and the like. I lost control and put my neighbor's between two small trees that were about 22" apart once; unfortunately, the handlebars were 24" wide. Couldn't feel my little fingers for a week. And with that solid rear axle, having to lift the inside wheel to turn just seemed soooo wrong, not to mention that it always felt like you were trying to sneak out a fart when doing it.
