Man gets pulled into chipper

[137cc]

Someone I contract climb for said he knew the guy. I was told he had his harness on while helping feed the chipper and it was his lanyard that got sucked in. He was crazy lucky it didn't kill him.

Crazy

I guess he has eight lives left. I'd like to know more details because you never hear about anyone living to tell about it.

Wow, God gave him a second lease on life!

Good lessons about loose clothing and things hanging off equipment. Him wearing a helmet might have saved his life.

However, his leg tripped the safety bar and shut off the machine just when his head arrived at the chipper blades, officials said.

Bloody lucky!

I've almost chipped in my harness before but something in my brain always makes me take it off
