Stump grinder accident!
Don't fret, its not about me.
It is an account of a man who grinds tree stumps for a living, and had his world turned upside down in a careless few seconds. Probably quite lucky to survive the accident.
Warning, graphic pictures inside.
A good reminder to be always on the ball when using any machinery, if nothing else a very good read......it is about 17 pages of posts.

I only looked at the first page of the link. I can tell you this, though. I've seen those mothers up close, and 3 metres is quite close enough. The teeth are about 60mm and each wheel is about 500mm diameter. And IIRC they turn about 100 rpm. Give them heaps of respect.

Wow
Interesting if you read further on that the units on the grinding machine companies website all show guards around the cutter to stop this happening.
Wonder whether it ever had one
Good fella......good almost aussie sense of humour.
