I used to work in a hardwoods sawmill around a real wood chipper. That thing was dangerous even in the best of conditions.

I got a broken rib standing in a “safe” area behind the chipper when an 8 inch cant broke when it hit the blade and spun off the shroud around the mouth of the thing.

Yup. You don't make small mistakes with machinery like that.

Sounds like a quick way to go, but really messy. Glad that I wasn't the one who caught the Ambulance call.

Now THESE are woodchippers! I've been around one like this and one even bigger. With 1000 hp behind them, they'll definitely sling some stuff.
