a guy not long ago in wisconsin had the same thing happen but had witnesses that couldn't prevent it from happening. wonder if anyone has ever thought of inventing a "sawstop" version for a wood chipper? | |

I think four or five more warning stickers on those things would be real helpful.
Last one I saw still had about six square inches that were NOT covered with warnings.

Way back when I was in grammar school a good friend and classmate of mine had his father lose his leg in one of those things. He foolishly tried to push a limb in with his foot. Guess the limb went in with his leg stuck to it. I don't know how he did not die as I imagine the loss of blood must have been horrific. I still remember the shock and buzz among my classmates over the incident and it left me with a very powerful memory of just how dangerous those things can be.
Many years later a colleague at work lost his thumb on the left hand in a log splitter. I have a very strong safety nerve that seems to get more and more sensitive as years go by ...

I heard of a murder cover-up using one of those things. Man killed his wife and then...
Think it was up in Connecticut.

Wayne I can't remember whether art imitated life, or the other way around. So I googled and found it was a murder back in 1986... a pilot had killed his wife and then used the chipper. No more details because this is the stuff of nightmares. Sorry if I was high-jacking the thread with something so macabre.

update...
" Gonzales-Ferrer was "was standing at the back end of the chipper, throwing branches into it with his co-workers nearby," Tustin police Sgt. Pat Welch told the newspaper. "One of them looked over, and he was gone." " http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...=mostpop_story

My late father lost his right hand in an accident at a furniture plant. He pushed a piece of wood into the machine, and I pulled him in as well. Taken off cleanly at the wrist.
