1. A wheelbarrow bumper for wheelbarrow having a frame, a bin, and a wheel, said wheelbarrow bumper comprising: a curved plate having a length, a width, and a convexly curved outer surface and an inner surface; and a first and a second side support members having a width and extending transversely from the curved plate, the curved plate and the support members, as a whole, defining a generally bracket-like cross-sectional configuration, the first and the second support members each including an engaging portion adapted to connect to the frame of the wheelbarrow; wherein the convexly curved outer surface of the curved plate defines a radius smaller than the radius of a tire to be used with the wheelbarrow, and the width of the curved plate is greater than the width of the side support members with each side of the curved plate extending outward from the respective side of the side support members such that the curved outer surface of the curved plate can provide a continuous and smooth arc support to the wheelbarrow, when dumping the load of the wheelbarrow, from a point where the curved plate contacts the ground and to a point where a front edge of the bin of the wheelbarrow contacts the ground.
