This is the stuff of nightmares. Has to be one of the worst ways to go out.

Puckett said the man, who remains unidentified, was working with a tree-trimming crew at the time of the incident. The incident has been ruled accidental, although the circumstances of how he ended up in the wood chipper were not revealed by police


OSHA finna eat.

At least he went head first.

If he was a pedophile I’m okay with it. Terrible tragedy otherwise.

Wood chippers are some very dangerous machines. A branch just has to snag your shirt or pants, and it's over.

There really needs to be two people operating the machine at all times with one standing next to an ESO.

The drum “whisper chippers” are some dangerous mofos. The drive/feed wheel and blades are mounted on the drum and run full speed. You throw limbs in these.

A disc chipper has separate
Drive/feed wheels controlled by a handle bar and are safer, feed slower but can grind some bigger limbs.

FYI incase you baws are thinking of a career on an Asplundh brush crew.

They need the SawStop tech on all of them.

There has to be some way to implement technology into those similar to the SawStop brand of table saws. Or a camera. Or something. I ain't clicking that link

If he went head first I think it be over pretty quickly.

Feet first? That should be punishment for pedophiles and murderers.

Wow...it was bad enough that he was in Saltville, VA.




Anyone who has spent any time there would understand what I mean.
