"Guardian Angels" rescue Montana woman trapped underneath lawn mower

Description

Kyle Geyer was riding her lawn mower on her property in Big Arm on June 27 when she flipped over on a cliffside above Flathead Lake.

The 72-year-old Geyer was trapped underneath her mower for four hours and was running out of breath when two teenagers on a jet ski saw her waving her arm and rushed ashore.

Because I was just at the end of it, I knew I wasnt going to last very much longer, Im very grateful, said Geyer.

Geyer was doing her normal routine, mowing her property in Big Arm, when she hit a rock and rolled down a cliffside above Flathead Lake.

And then I went down several feet, but the rock stopped the lawn mower from going the rest of the way, so it just rolled over on its side, and I was trapped underneath it, and we figure I was there for about four hours.

Geyer tried screaming for help, but her voice was muffled under the mower. All she could do was raise one arm.

About four hours later, I thought I was on my last breath and then I saw my heroes come.

14-year-olds Danny Fehr and Channing Thomson of Billings were visiting a family cabin on Flathead Lake.

They were fishing off a jet ski when they saw Geyers lawnmower tipped over.

I thought nothing of it until I saw Kyle stick her arm out of the lawn mower, and thats when I knew there needed to be some sort of intervention because I didnt know how long she was under the lawn mower, said Fehr.

I hear them say look, theres a woman trapped up there, something to that extent, and then they were saying were coming, were coming, and I think it was Danny called 911 and the other Channing ran up here and then they just stayed with me and said youre going to be okay, youre going to be okay, Geyer told MTN.

Danny stayed by Kyles side and held her hand to comfort her, as they waited for first responders to arrive.

So I was basically telling her youre not going to die, youre going to stay with us, dont say youre not going to make it because youre going to make it, Im not going to let you die, said Fehr.

Channing ran out to a nearby street and found three bikers, including one who was a paramedic. It took all five of them to lift the lawn mower off Geyer.

I feel like there was some sort of divine intervention to make me look at that hillside and see her, because if I didnt look, Kyle wouldnt be here with us today, said Fehr.

Geyer spent four nights in the hospital recovering from a fractured vertebra and a severely bruised rib cage.

Shes forever thankful for her two guardian angels.

Theres no way I can thank you enough for that, you just have no idea what that means to me, they will be with me for the rest of my life, said Geyer.
