Shocking warning about woodchippers

I know a lot of sheddies are looking to clear out their gardens, get rid of the branches, leaves and they like to recycle or maybe make their own compost, but read this via A Welshview, its a horrible tail of a chap using a commercial woodchipper who unfortunaey died by being consumed by the machine, just awful. The LA times has more.

The Orange resident was working with a tree-trimming crew in Tustin. He was throwing branches into the machine one moment, authorities say, and then suddenly ‘he was gone.’

“He was one of three workers trimming trees and removing debris from a private residence,” he said. “One was in the tree and the other hauling debris. He was there and then he wasn’t there; it was an unfortunate industrial accident.”

So just be very careful using any equipment in the back garden.
