“””””A tree trimming service worker was pulled into a huge industrial type wood chipper when a branch got stuck in his clothing.”””””
Good description, there is an infinite number of variable dangers in feeding random materials into them and it isn’t like they are in an industrial plant with controls, they are outdoors and in various weather and degrees of hangovers and distractions and grab ass.
The other variable, is that in many instances, the people operating the chipper aren’t the brightest or best trained.
My first day working urban forestry, I had a colleague (dumb as a rock) become entangled in russian olive branches and almost get pulled into the chipper. He panicked and started playing tug-o-war with the chipper. I hit the reverse lever, and he was fine, otherwise, he would have been minced.
