It's the feeling, or rather knowing that you're most certainly about to die that most would want to avoid.

Going feet first would be akin to dying in a fire or drowning..... Some people might pass out, but most would be alive and very conscious well into their torso.....

Think about it. You could get cut in half at your stomach and still be fine as far as heart and brain go. Of course you would pass out from vascular system pressure loss quickly afterwards, but still... Those would most certainly be the longest seconds of your life.

The chipper blades would be my guess.

hahahahahahaahah..... OMG...

Sorry, but that caught me totally offguard.... LOL
 
Oh, geez...
I'm pretty certain I would under no circumstances put any part of my body that I cherished into a wood chipper. I'd probably try to use one of the pieces of wood that I needed to chip or something.
 
While this death does suck, I still say being crushed is the worst death and injury possible. For example, I'd rather have a huge gash on my finger than to get my finger crushed in something.

i saw a FoD video where a guy got caught between a subway car and the platform. he was basically cut in half at the waste, but didn't die because everything was pinched off by the car. they brought his family to say goodbye, then moved the car, and he died. sad.

Hey, just like that part in Signs... one of those completely unnecessary parts that contributed greatly to the movie's suck factor.
 
why would you try to kick stuff through a wood chipper without turning it off...???

ive never worked w/one before but that just seems like common sense around a machine that shreds sh1t
 
i'm just curious. the article said that nobody saw the man. so did they catch him while he was screaming while being minced? or did they find him once his body was already in the wood chips? 😱
 
made me think of this:

Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: Ehhh, you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.
Mrs. Nordberg: [crying] Oh... Frank. Ohh this is terrible.
Ed: Don't you worry Wilma. Your husband is going to be alright. Don't you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.
Frank: He's right, Wilma. But I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.
Mrs. Nordberg: [starts crying again]
Ed: What I'm trying to say is that Wilma, as soon as Nordburg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad.
Frank: Unless he's a drooling vegetable. But I think that's only common sense...

From the way the article reads, and they don't give you much..

It sounds like it was one of those..... "Hey... Where's Bob??... *walks over to shredder*.... oh sh!t" type of situations...
 
First thing I noticed that it was Florida (my old city, Tampa, in fact) again.

Horrific way to die. He probably had done it many times before without incident and simply lost focus.
