Man apparently pulled into wood chipper dies
Police investigate death of Colorado tree-service employee
Updated: 11:12 a.m. ET Dec. 29, 2005
LOVELAND, Colo. - A man trimming trees was killed after he apparently was pulled into a wood chipper, police said.
The tree-service employee died Wednesday while he and a co-worker were cutting branches at a Loveland residence, Police Sgt. Rae Bontz said.
“It appears he was pulled into the chipper,” Bontz said. He described the death as an industrial accident but released no other details, saying police were investigating.
After the accident, the man’s partner, who was cutting branches from a bucket on a hydraulic lift, ran to the house where they were working, and a resident called 911. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police did not release either man’s name. Police Chief Luke Hecker said the victim was experienced at his work.
The Larimer County coroner and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration also are investigating.

They'll probably just dig a hole and point the chipper output chute into it.

In the last district i worked in their was a guy who cut off his leg with a chain saw after he was attempting to climb a tree with a running chain saw :rolleyes: it was sick to look at turned out they ended up amputating his leg all the way to his hip as he ended up having termites in his leg :220v:

Well I hope they get to the root cause of the problem , rather than barking up the wrong tree, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, they should have spruced up his skills first! Someone is gonna have an axe to grind after this! Let the chips fall where they may but...someone better not just pine around and shade the issue! That industry is going to be uprooted once they plant the seed in the proper authorities path. :p

Come on HBers, have a little compassion for this poor guy. He may have had a family, could even be someone from these boards....What a way to go......I doubt a coffin will be needed as those things are running at kazillon RPMs, and when it grabbed him it probably grabbed all of him.....In this case "being in the chips" aint a good thing.........MP
