It seems to me that you could make a much safer wood chipper, like maybe that involved some kind of case that you put the wood in while it's turned off, then close, then step back and press a remote button. Maybe it would require the door to be closed and latched before it would turn on. But I'm no engineer. I guess that would probably be too expensive and people would still try to find a way to cut corners.

God I hope he went in head first and it was over quickly. What a horrible way to go.
