Obviously they didn't care about the car. But did it not occur to them anything hitting your car hard enough to total it could kill you? I'd have pulled into someone's yard if I had to, anything to get in the clear.

maybe I am wrong, I used some on line converter to calculate the volume,,,

OOPS, I used diameter instead of radius,,,
14.14 cubic inches X 0.283 pounds per cubic inch,,, = 4 pounds,,,

The first # did seem a little high,,,

If they were gold, they would weigh 14.14 X 0.70 = 9.8 pounds

I watched that video and wondered to myself, if this guy had enough sense, to come in out of the rain.

At triple the weight of steel I'm guessing lead or lead filled.

People are lucky those things were heavy enough to stay on the ground for the most part. Imagine one getting airborne enough to go through a windshield.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
