I watched a man get pulled into one of those giant wood chippers. he was trying to kick a branch into the horn and his pants got caught. before he could free himself it had pulled him in feet first.
nobody was around until we heard the screams. jesus…the screams were worse than you can imagine.
most people think screaming is like yelling, but it’s not. the raw emotion and fear you can feel is something I’ll never forget.
by the time we got it shut off, it was too late. everything past his navel was gone. his face was frozen in this grotesque mask that didn’t even look human.
if that wasn’t bad enough, the sounds his wife and father made when they were told were just as heavy as his were as he was dying.
Sorry to hear that. I’ve heard that scream too. A coworker got his foot chopped off and leg crushed by a hydraulic shearing machine. I can’t describe the scream. It’s a visceral and unintelligible scream and yet I knew exactly what they were trying to communicate. Fortunately he lived.
worst thing I can’t forget.

I worked at a place that rented them. Always knew they would kill you horribly at every chance they get. Crazy they’ll just rent one to anyone.
Holy shit…
Oh my god I wasn’t ready to read this
Man that … Oof. Sorry you had to experience that, sounds traumatic AF.
Good PSA to not fuck around with wood chippers and equipment in general. Turns out that inanimate objects don’t actually give a shit about you.
I’m genuinely sorry you experienced that.
