Wisconsin Man Dies in Wood Chipper

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. (AP) - The owner of a tree service company was killed after being pulled through a wood chipper, police said Wednesday.

Jeremiah P. Sanders, 30, used his foot to free a jammed log and was pulled into the machine Tuesday, Pleasant Prairie police spokesman Pete Jung said in a statement.

Co-workers unsuccessfully tried to stop the chipper, Jung said.

Sanders, the owner of J's Quality Tree Service, died at the scene.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration was investigating. Foul play was not suspected.

Shouldn't the wood chipper have a big red emergency stop button?

Sure is wasn't Minnesota?

Woodchipper is close to the bottom on my "ways to die, best to worst" list.

A woodchipper would hurt like hell. Especially going in foot first.

QFT

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

how many times has this happened?

i gotta say anyone, but especially someone who is familiar with woodchippers like this guy, should know better. it's just plain ignorant that he got himself ground to pieces.

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).

Damn.. that has to be just as bad as being beheaded

I'd much rather be beheaded.

without a doubt. wood chipper would be horrible


Islamic style beheading.. or wood chipper..

I say, if its a modern wood chipper, then it would suck your @$$ right through that thing in less than 20 seconds..
Now, beheading on the other hand; rusty, dull blade.. slowing tugging on your neck..that might take a while..

They both would suck equally!

Now, the question is...if you put "Islamic Style" in front of any method of execution...does that automatically make it 1000x more gruesome and horrifying? Can we use this for other things? Can you have Islamic Style sex? Does Islamic Style reading mean tearing apart the book to shreds as you read it? Will a mod Islamic Style ban me for this by coming to my house and putting my face through my monitor until I die?

hmmm...

I think a George Carlin style beheading would not be fun - cutting off the head with an olive fork on national television.

Yeah, but let's be honest. Why the heck would Islamic people have a wood chipper? THEY LIVE IN THE DESERT!
