[history]
A man trimming trees was killed after he apparently was pulled into a wood chipper, police said.
The tree-service employee died Wednesday while he and a co-worker were cutting branches at a Loveland residence, Police Sgt. Rae Bontz said.
"It appears he was pulled into the chipper," Bontz said. He described the death as an industrial accident but released no other details, saying police were investigating.

Please, how about a shred of decorum. I guess I didn't realize this thread was supposed to be a joke. A man doing an honest job and has a tragic accident is now funny, unless of course it is your family member.

I was just walking by tree trimmers at a local residence using a wood chipper the other day, and noticed how powerful the machine is to chop up thick braches. I imagine the man stuck his arm too far down into the machine when he was stuffing cut branches and it pulled him in.

You guys are bad.... Sorry. I tend to go to pieces when I read stories like this, and a little black humor helps to keep myself together.

Loose long clothing is the enemy when working with equipment. Had a father in law that got his coat caught in a corn bine (sp)? Luckily he was able to slip his coat before it pulled him in.

I used to work for a company that sold a line of chippers, some are very large and very powerful.
