Well it is more likely your time if you are mowing grass in an active airplane landing strip

My first thought on reading the title and excerpt was, "Damn. What are the odds on being hit by a plane while riding a lawnmower?"

But then I read further, and she was mowing somewhere around an airstrip, which, well, increases your chances exponentially, especially if you are mowing a taxiway or something, or even the grass strip itself.

Note: I am not making fun of this poor woman killed by the plane. But this is more towards my initial impression upon reading the title, which, though tragic, made my mind wander down non-tragic pathways)

I have no doubt there is an ICD-10 code for that (codes used by medical personnel to classifly medical conditions to classify and justify the use of various approved medical procedures on them, largely for the purposes of payment or reimbursement from insurance companies.)

J11.1: Influenza with other respiratory manifestations, seasonal influenza virus not identified

M80.021G: Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, right humerus; subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing (or, in other words, osteoporosis of old age with a repeated upper right arm fracture that is taking long to heal).

Those above are just two valid examples. However, some are almost funny to the point of absurdity, but you know they made the ICD-10 codeing dictonary because they happened to someone, somewhere (examples below):

I took a quick look, and in about ten seconds found:

V97.3 - Person on ground injured in air transport accident

So, I have no doubt there is one in there that is something like:

V96.238 - Person struck by crashing plane while operating riding lawnmower.
