AUGUSTA, Maine, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A man test driving a zero-turn riding mower indoors found the vehicle more difficult to control than expected and ended up crashing.

The video, posted to YouTube by Maine Outdoors, shows the man attempting to control the riding lawnmower as it moves in a series of short but powerful jerks.


The mower eventually crashes into a wall where some boards were leaning.

The driver, who does not appear to be injured, shares a laugh with the spectators.

The video's description says the man had been drinking and was driving the zero turn motor for the first time.
