True story. I worked at a factory when I was in college. They made veneer for furniture. The first step is to boil the logs. One summer there was a guy boiling the logs and somehow he fell into the vat. Not a pretty sight. Not a way to go.

Those big industrial size wood chippers - fall into that or try to use your leg to unjam a couple of logs in there... suck you right in and it’s called something like complete defragmentation - zzzzzzt!!!

We had a case down in Hampton, it was a tree service owners nephew working summers and he got defragged in the log chipper and while this was going on in the news I went up on the OSHA site and looked up this phenomena and apparently it happens a couple hundred times a year. OSHA has the files online for your viewing pleasure.

Sorry no pictures only reports...
