Tried a power trowel on a small garage slab and it nearly threw me off

Last month I used a 36 inch ride-on for a 20x20 slab in Phoenix and the concrete was too soft in one corner, thing almost flipped on me. Has anybody else had a close call with a power trowel on a tight pour?

Idk maybe it's just me but I feel like nobody's talking about the ride-on being way too big for a 20x20. I mean a 36 inch machine on a 400 square foot pour is like using a semi truck to move a couch. You're practically asking to fight that thing in the corners. A smaller walk-behind would've let you feather those edges easy without the wrestling match.

Check your mix slump next time, wet concrete on a slope is asking for trouble.
