This has to be one of the worst possible ways to die.  So will they cremate him or compost him?

RIP Chip!

You are forgiven! 

 

Sometime back I saw one of those being used and they were putting some pretty big tree branches in it and it just chewed them up in seconds.  One of the guys feeding branches into it had his glove get caught on a branch and it started pulling him toward the machine, the glove came off and he was never in any real danger, but I thought it would be a most unpleasant situation for him and anyone witnessing it.

 

Apparently he loved that 70s police show with Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox.
