Very sad that one, the father is going to have a rather rough go of it after this. I can’t really tell what type of chipper it is from the photo, but there are a variety of feed speeds on some of them. Having worked around wood chippers before some are safer then others, but they are all dangerous and a 6 year old should not be trying to feed anything into one of them. ---

I can’t even fit this in my head. I am in tears as I read the article. My son is five and I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself of the guilt I would harbor for the rest of my life. I let my boy stop at my job sites from time to time but he never leaves my sight for an instant. Although I don’t even know this family, my condolences go out to them in the unimaginable grief they must be experiencing. ---

that type of chipper does not have the feeding rollers that slow the limb down…they are fucking scary if you have ever used one…if you get stuck on the branch you better hope you are strong enough to rip the clothing/what ever gets stuck… ---

> [@Scott](#): > > Says the guy whose posted some of the stupidest shit on this forum Really now. Elaborate if you would. Maybe I post some things that are “goofy” or “foolish” but I don’t think I’ve posted something in such poor taste as that. Your talking about some poor bastard who didn’t have to watch his son die of terminal cancer or illness, but had to witness something as horrible as a commercial wood chipper pulling in his boy. Have a fuckin heart man. ---
