Happened not far from me. For an accident like this, what tools does one use to clean up the accident scene? I'm guessing either a scraper or a shop vac.

All kidding aside...how does one fall into wood chipper?

How did the police “find the man” dead from his injuries?

CAL OSHA is investigating the accident looking for any “shred” of evidence.

Happened to a very young adult (18 y.o. IIRC) in NE Pennsylvania within the past couple of months.

Had the chipper parked right under the tree they were working on no doubt.
And they will have to dump that load of chips and sort through it unless the family says otherwise.

Had a guy go through a one up at Seney Mi years ago. It was the sawmill owners son. The place was a disaster-an accident waiting to happen. And it did.

Clothing could have caught on a branch, then pulled him in.

All I know is that I’m very sorry to hear of his death.

Not a good way to go.

The big commercial wood chippers are very powerful.
They can suck in a 3” thick branch in a second.
If you get caught, you will be pulled right in with it.

It can happen if they fail to maintain control of their ropes. Ropes are often fastened to a harness. Tag end of the rope ends up under the brush pile, brush is fed into the chipper and off to the races. The safety bar on the chipper that stops the infeed rolls may not help because the rope may become fouled in the chipper disk and still pull the worker in. Grusome way to go, not something you want to witness either during or after.

Wood chippers...the pit bulls of gardening. I’m equally afraid of both.

I remember when I was young a garbage collector got caught in the machinery somehow. They had just left our apartment, and was down the street next to another complex. Me and my friends were playing I the field, when the screaming started. From what everyone was talking about the when the ambulance came, he lost his arm up to the shoulder.

Me being 8, would make that 1964

If it wasn’t for bad luck, some people would have no luck at all.
