Members misterhinkydink Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ouch.. The Anaheim resident was working with a tree-trimming crew in Tustin. He was throwing branches into the machine one moment, authorities say, and then suddenly 'he was gone.' By Tony Barboza, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer10:15 AM PST, November 8, 2007 Authorities in Orange County are working to recover the remains of a 24-year-old Anaheim man who was killed Wednesday in a wood chipper accident in Tustin. The tree service worker "was standing at the back end of the chipper, throwing branches into it with his co-workers nearby," said Sgt. Pat Welch of the Tustin Police Department. "One of them looked over, and he was gone." Authorities took the wood chipper and the truck attached to it to a parking structure at the coroner's office, where they plan to dismantle it. The accident, which happened about 4 p.m. in the 2600 block of Palmetto Avenue in Tustin, is being investigated by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, authorities said. The man's name was being withheld until his family was notified. "We'll just be trying to gather as much of the remains as we can," said Supervising Deputy Coroner Larry Esslinger. Thirty-one people have been killed in wood chipper accidents between 1992 and 2002, according to a 2005 Journal of the American Medical Assn. report. tony.barboza@latimes.com Linky Dinky Parlez-vous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 The only thing that sucks more than getting pulled into a wood chipper is the guy who has the job of taking apart the wood chipper to "Gather as much of the remains as possible". Oh man that would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man that would suck. Reminds me of the huge influx in people going to school for forensic science because of shows like CSI. They don't understand how truly exhausting and nasty that job really gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
