Obviously, this tragedy shows the need for wood chipper control.

We need to require background checks on anyone buying a wood chipper, and ban the larger diameter “Assault Woodchippers” in the name of all the dead children, that could be tragically killed by these evil machines.

Times there are in a mans life when being cheap doesn’t pay.

All the klutz had to do was dump the chipper overboard and pay the rental shop.

I am amazed at the predictive capability of Einstein’s observation that while hydrogen seemed to be the most common thing in the universe, human stupidity was a close contender.
