Once saw a guy go thru the tubofan jet engine of a S-3A viking engine... ain't pretty.

Makes you think of the ending of the movie Fargo!

Yahhh, Yahhh, but he was a funny lookin' little guy...:laughing:

I once watched two tree trimmer guys each in their own boom lift and at about twenty feet up in the air have a hydraulic boom lift "sword fight". It went on for a few minutes and then they did it again a few minutes later.

I used to drive by the office of a tree service company. I would pass the office twice a day going to and from work.

They lost a work one day when he got pulled into a chipper and lost his head.

Wonder what kind of hoops they had to go through to sort and dispose of that load of chips. :, \

We had asplundh up around here, best way I could discribe their work would be.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.bwahhahahahahahaha complete joke.

They are a big company. I know they work throughout the US and Canada.

They must have a good end with most elec. companys, cause I see no real competition for them.

Driving home from work, there were three Asplundh trucks with crews trimming back roadside trees. As they had one oncoming lane shifted over, traffic was slower then usual.
As I pulled abreast the chipper, I watched one guy (of three feeding the chipper) leaning inside the chute pushing brush toward the hammers!!!!
He was bent over and his shoulders weren't visible as I passed...

Jeez....use to be Asplundh had good safety training...guess that went by the wayside.

Roy,
I was more surprised to see that you work...:laughing:

just kidding..

I did see something somewhat weird recently-- but not that bad...

road crew triming our gravel road shoulders with a hydraulic deck. Guy out in front sighting the trim..
Saw him duck a couple times from the flying debris...

kinda sad...

I'd make up a pusher stick of some sort (using dowels rather then nails or screws) before I'd lean in there.
My Woods 5000 chute is angled between 30 and 45 degrees from the vertical. Won't take more then a 5" branch, but that's fine. The chute is too small for me to be dragged in...but I'll take no chances!

maybe not you... but up to your forearm!!
