A horrific, tragic "accident" that was entirely preventable. A six year old child should not have been anywhere in the vacinity of an industrial size woodchipper, especially when it was running. There are reports every year of children drowning in manure lagoons, being run-over by tractors, caught in grain augers or killed by chainsaws.
Don't mean to belabor the point, but this shit makes my blood boil. As farmers, we took extra precautions to keep our kids safe. To my mind this "accident" is negligence to the nth degree.
I hope his siblings get counseling and are able to someday get past watching their brother being chewed apart and spit out of this machine like garbage.
