His family should sue the manufacturers of the wood chipper. After all, it says right on the side of the chipper "Insert Limbs Here".

the fargo snowglobe

where would you purchase one of those - does it only come with the fargo collector's edition (might not be a bad purchase, as I don't own the movie).

Yep, only with the special edition. I just looked on Amazon and it has a few for sale that say the globe is included, but it's not cheap, especially considering it's a VHS. :(

I am having trouble thinking of a worse way to die... perhaps getting your penis cut off and slowly dying from the blood loss? I really dont know

Man, foot first, ow x_x Wouldn't you use a broom handle or another tree limb to clear up clogs? I agree with another poster, owning a tree service you've got to have heard horror stories, maybe even know of some first hand, involving those things. He was retarded to do that.

on the other hand he's probably cleared jams with his boot 1000 times before . . . . .

He just got too comfortable with his equipment and it killed him.

One of those big commercial wood chippers wouldn't be the worst way to die. Even though he went feet first, he was probably sucked straight through and dead before he knew what happened. Definitely not gonna be an open casket funeral though...

I wonder what the company is going to do now that the owner chipped himself? Hopefully there's someone else to step up and run the place, otherwise those employees got some bad times coming ahead

exactly what i was thinking.

I wouldn't call this retarded so much as very careless.

If you are in a very dangerous environment everyday, its sometimes easy to get a little lax after doing it for years where there is no longer any fear.
