quiz which end goes into the chipper first

very horrific accident

not sure of the details but usually this happens when the tree is not put in root first

but there are other ways it can happen too like a snag on to a coat sleeve

And, in the case of any curled, twisted or diseased deformation, they should be cut off prior to chipping. This way, the tree or branch collapses easily and naturally to slip right in and not get stuck on branches withholding the feed.

Also, anything should be thrown into the chipper from a distance so you can have time to react, even just falling will take you out of the path and cause the branch or clothing to break or tear loose. Try it with a Christmas tree in a doorway.

Leading with the bottom of a tree that's 2, 3 or 4-times the doorway's width, the tree slips right through with almost no effort. Now, lead with the top of a tree that's only slightly larger than the doorway, the tree immediately binds up and you have to break branches with a lot of effort to get the tree through...you shove and stuff and kick yourself into the chipper.
