For some reason i expected it to happen at infeed roller speed.. slow...

 

That really is an eye opener...

 

Irony - you might wish your rope isn't too strong sometimes....

Do you think there would be time to think?

 

I reckon it would all just be a blur until it was over, but who knows? Him I guess??

 

You ever thought you were about to die Dave ? From a personal standpoint it wasnt a blur....some desperate thoughts mate.

For what it's worth I think it's the drum type chippers that will pull a rope in like that, our fly wheel types are much less likely to wind the rope up... If that makes sense.

Its when the rope wraps round the flywheel thst it goes quick.

I wouldn't bank on it.

Different guy. this was 2014 He climbed into the chipper to unjam it, Thinking it was switched off. It wasnt .

The Bandit was a flywheel wasn't it?

I may be wrong.

I don't think a rope was involved here, I think his harness snagged on something.

Operator error, glad he made it.

When did you think you were going to die Reg?

Was it at the Arb show when you launched the RC lowering devices?

I thought you looked about ready to end it all after enduring two days of questions from people like me.😁

I'm not sure I ever have mate, I think I may be a little to optimistic, or may just unrealistic

Huck you are still alive, and you would never admit to being wrong on Arbtalk.
