Maybe people would be more careful around them if they were called something else. "Wood chipper" sounds like a normal, useful, happy landscaping tool.
Something like "Hard Organic Material Shredding and Destruction Device" might demand more caution around them. ... no, it's too long. How about "Limb Destroyer"? |

I've got a small one that works off my tractor's PTO; and, it's scary effective at chipping 5" diameter trees. Even if you cut the PTO off, the damn thing continues to chip for a minute or so. The minute I start getting fatigued feeding it is when I stop using it. It's the one tractor implement I own that makes me nervous.

exactly how do you "fall" into a wood chipper? All the big ones I've see are horizontal, and only the tiny backyard ones have vertical chutes, that maybe take a 2" branch at best, and would choke on one.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Death by a thousand cuts. I used to work with a guy that lost the fingers up to the middle knuckle on one hand, when a limb snagged his glove and yanked him in. As they were loading him up into the ambulance, he caught a glimpse of the cop kicking what was left of his fingers into a 7-11 coffee cup to send along with EMS. ER doc took one look in the cup, and threw it in the trash. He was an odd dude, but funny in a stupid sort of way - as we were driving down the road in the work truck, he used to stick his "nubs" under his nose or in his ear as people were driving by. I swear, even when you were sitting right next to him, it looked as if he had his whole finger stuffed up his nose or in his ear. People in their cars would either be laughing hysterically or have their mouths hanging open as they passed by. |

Lots of big turbo diesel chippers out there that take 12" diameter logs. They would suck up a person like it was nothing. All it takes is an inattentive person get wrapped up in a huge branch and sucked in. |

Similar thing happened in my neck of the woods the other day, poor kid (23y/o) got dragged into a chipper on his first damn day on the job.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-dies-in-tree-grinder-accident-during-first-day-on-the-job/ GUILDERLAND, N.Y. - Officials say a man on his first day on the job cutting down trees in an Albany suburb has died after he became entangled in a tree grinding machine.
Police in Guilderland, New York, say the 23-year-old man had been removing large trees Wednesday in front of a home when he fell into a wood chipper. |

It takes a while to slow down, there is no instant stop. Depends on the type. Heavy drum chippers go slow but stop for almost nothing. there are kill bars on top and bottom that you are supposed to be able to grab or kick if your getting pulled in, but I'd imagine that's hard to do with a limb already being pinched and sliced off. |

It could eat a 2 foot thick, 20 foot long Doug Fir log without slowing down much, so I treated it with a LOT of respect. Something that massive...trying to insta-stop it isn't going to be easy.

A guy at work stuck his head in one to see why it quit feeding. The log whipped around in the chute with his head still in there, and a limb ripped his nostril open. He purposely stuck his head in a wood chipper!! He then tried to sue because there wasn't anything on the machine to keep him from putting his head in the wood chipper.
It's chipping wheel was so heavy that it would spin for almost 5 minutes after you shut off the machine. |
