So he went through the pressure rolls. If the thing was running fully, he wouldnt be here to talk about it.

In Seney Mich years ago, a mans son went through one. He ended up in the chip van. I wont say what was left of him.

I was thinking the same thing. A wood chipper that keeps an entire 6 foot piece basically intact is NOT doing its job!

I know the feeling.

I worked in a shipyard building navy destroyers.

I was working on the aft gun auto loader.

I was working in the tube from the ammo loading compartment to the gun. Put a shell on the tray, push the button, and it’s loaded into the gun in a few seconds.

The welder/fitter was guarding the button to make sure no one pushed it sending the loading tray up.

Some clown came in the compartment grabbed the control buttons and started acting like he was going to push the button.

The welder/fitter went nuts and started fighting with the guy.

Had he pushed that button I would have been loaded into that gun just like a shell.

After that we made them shut down that entire section of the ship and made the safety crew place a guard outside the door to make sure no one else came in while we were working.
