Actually I did almost exactly that a few weeks ago, trying to get a 14" diam. or so log to catch on the infeed rollers. But one foot was on the ground. And I have two safety systems.
Certainly didn't feel right, but I assessed the safety concerns/risks.

Caption is correct if he was lucky enough to only have his leg turned into hamburger. The 1 leg / hops around joke is funny enough but man you're asking for trouble with that.

One young kid (I read) got dragged into a chipper by his boot laces.

They don't put warnings all over moving parts and equipment for fun. Over the years you see all sorts of stories that remind you of the danger. My wife does medical coding and had to code a child that was run over by a lawnmower by his grandfather.

That's called natural selection..
In other words that problem will take care of itself.
Have I done crap I probably shouldn't have of course
But not to the extent of that.

Maybe the engine isn’t running?
Every neighborhood has that story. They also have the one where the guy working under the tractor loader gets squished, the guy working between the dump truck hoist and truck frame gets crushed, one guy in a truck tug of war gets decapitated by the chain......
