This almost happened to a guy in Iowa City Iowa a few years ago. I recently met him and he described an accident where a lowering rope got past the feed wheels and into the disk on a chipper he was loading. As the rope whipped into the chipper it wrapped around his neck, removed most of the skin and broke 3 of his vertebra. He was laid-up for 2 years. Showed me the scars.
