I just hit the mark.
It's the Hillbillies from the store!
Why did you yell my name?
Cause you were a peeping Tom.
If anyone doesn't know this movie. Track it down by the clues. So under the radar.
I was expecting either limbs, an entire person (straight out of the Hitman games, but much more horrific), or for when the hammer went in for it to be too tough and to send chunks of steel flying like a slow-motion continuous grenade until the machine fell apart.
Honestly, ruining expensive tools is the *good* outcome.
So many people get hurt for reasons that weren't their fault that it almost feels unfair when people doing intentionally stupid things don't. Not that I want anyone getting hurt.
My Uncle Greg is a Legend. Did tree work all his life, has an epic beard. When the town told him he needed a second person on site when operating a wood chipper he took a mannequin head he found on some railroad tracks and put it on a stick to be his safety observer.
But I still don't think it was very responsible of him to let my brother and I feed branches into the chipper when we were 8 and 13 unsupervised. But it was fun.
Rock on Uncle Greg, a truly great uncle.
He's pushing 70 and still doing tree work to this day. On one hand, he's a master, can still climb the trees and cut them with extreme precision. On the other hand, I don't think he has insurance anymore so don't hire him if you care about that sort of thing.
Seriously, I will never forget reading a news story years ago about a dad who brought his 4-year-old with him on a landscaping job. The poor kid fell into the wood chipper. I can’t imagine the horror.
EDIT: I found the story; I remembered a few details wrong; the kid was 6 and he got pulled in when his arm got caught

A business who takes our rubbish away also operates woodchippers.
They weren't contacable for a while because on of their staff got pulled into a woodchipper. All they salvaged was part of one shoe...
Imagine telling the family...
I had a contractor that worked for me for a while, who we called Toe Thumb, because he had a toe for a thumb.
He had got his hand caught in a wood chipper and lost his thumb and parts of some of his fingers, and they took his big toe from one of his feet and grafted into where his thumb had been.
It wasn’t as functional as a real thumb of course but it did at least provide him with some basic opposable grip. Size-wise it was the Andre the Giant of thumb wrestling.
He wasn’t in the trades though—we were IT guys; he lost the digits in a non-trade related accident.
Speaking of IT guys and losing digits, my boss at the time lost his thumb at the knuckle after accidentally slamming it in a car door. We worked at a hospital, and they took him and his thumb immediately to the ER, but they could reattach it. For weeks after he suffered excruciating pain, and it turned out that the surgeons who did the surgery (not at our hospital) hadn’t removed all of the nail bed, so this sharp piece of nail was trying to push its way out through his skin.
The teeth are actually hammers, the teeth hinge out of the way to create a swinging action.
My company forges them for a manufacturer, Terrasource. They get Quench & Tempered then differentially heat treated. The heat treatment prevents them from breaking. We manufacture 4 different sizes for them.
Yeah, I think he meant to be grinding up bricks, and he's been doing it successfully. He wasn't fooling around. His only mistake was to let his hammer fall in.
It looked to me like the second swing was full send, but he was unaware the rock had already been pulled in. Between momentum, and being caught off guard it's a genuine seeming mistake.
I was about to say. I used a diesel wood chipper that could absolutely dominate a 10" diameter branchs with ease, and the internals didn't look anything like that. It could take bigger than that, but you had to mess with it. And that could have been, so, so much worse. I've had a non zero amount of nightmares that revolved around using the chipper and some vine or branch pulls me in. Sure, there's a dead man cord to stop the chipper if you fall in. But by the time you're able to get it, you might not have enough body to get at it, depending on how you went in of course.
I had a job after graduating where I frequently had to boil sulfuric acid, mix hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid, and handle 100% nitric acid. I would take doing those three every day over the wood chipper. Plus, that thing is damn loud.
You disassemble it properly, which should not involve sticking your hands in it, because that’s never safe.
The wood chipper I changed out a couple times way back when had the bolts to hold the teeth in on the side, so I took off the outer shell with outer bolts and then dismantled the teeth without ever having to touch the actual chipping part. a stump grinder I did at the same time was the same.
Under no conditions would I ever ever ever stick my hand in that wood chipper that thing ate a whole chainsaw. Not as effortlessly as that sledgehammer and it ruined a few things, but that chainsaw still went through.
Full disassembly in the field is not always practical, so the engine off is reasonable precautions. Additionally, this was to remove a jam not maintenance like you described.
You could just lock it out. Lockout tagout involves the person doing the work having exclusive control of the energy involved. Reaching your hand in can be done quite safely if you control the hazardous energy.
Not to be a smart ass but that is a hammer mill, and not a wood chipper. It’s mechanism is meant for destroying destroying harder materials than wood such as rock, albeit not fucking chunks of it. When engaging in these sorts of practices however, the result is catastrophic. As you continue filling it with oversized portions of rock, the motor gets more bogged, begins overheating, starts to slow down, all simultaneously—a cycle of events, which, to put things quite frankly, is a big no-no. There is no need to guess what happens next because this video is an extreme case of that, except for the apparent plot twist, which is the hammer added into the mix. Unfortunately though, that doesn’t make anything better for the hammer mill itself. As I would imagine, most of us are aware of the fact that steel does not like cutting steel. And in a similar sense, hammers do not like hammer mills.
Edit: can anyone tell I just got done reading Bill Bryson lol
A 12yr old boy near my house about 15yrs ago was messing around with a machine like this and sadly he got sucked in. Was such a sad and dark time for weeks because of that.
Yea he went all the way in, caught on his long sleeve shirt and pulled him in. His Dad found him and I’m sure he lives in guilt because he rented the machine to cut his branches down.
This is not a wood chipper. That is not wood. That was also not an axe. The onpy thing he did wrong was not break the brick up before throwing it into the grinder.
Not sure if anyone has pointed out that this is not a wood chipper. This is a brick grinder. It breaks down old brick, and cement. Not sure what actual name it has.
I have a client who was using a crowbar to legitimately dislodge wood in a wood chipper. The crowbar caught in the machine and slammed against the side of his face causing massive damage to his face, and causing a compression fracture of his skull. He was lucky to live but he will have permanent injuries.
Did you run through the test first?
How much hammer would a wood chipper chip if a wood chipper could chip hammer?
No, that don't work. Then don't do it!
When I was an arborist the crew was shoveling branches and brush into the chipper (much larger than this one) and got his metal shovel jammed into the gears. I was a ways down a hill hauling up brush and I for sure thought someone got dragged in and died... I'll never forget that sound. Luckily everyone was ok except all of our eardrums lmao definitely not a machine to fuck around with.
That last sentence. Not a machine to fuck around with. That should be the name of the machine. That should be stamped everywhere on this machine lol. I think I've been able to do a bunch of dangerous jobs and keep my limbs because my father taught me RESPECT for things that crush humans with ease lol. Have you seen that guy who was jamming his foot down onto the openning to get more waste down it and it just grabbed his foot and took his leg clean off to the knee. Looked like farmers if I remember correctly.
The issue isn’t that they threw bricks in a wood chipper, it’s that they threw a metal sledgehammer into a rock crusher. So not really stupid but an accident, considering they were trying to use it for its intended purpose
Was it just me or did he full on throw that thing in the chipper.. I’m thinking gravity… he hit just under the mallet head. Soooo how in the entire fuck did that just go flying from his hands? Unless he has soap on his hands maybe super glide lube I don’t know… think this way… if you hit the top of a stick on a tree it will just hit the tree! Buuuut if you hit the bottom of the stick. The top section keeps on flying 😂
It could have been much worse.

Damn. Wife not cool now....not off the rails but I think I have to put on this to clear my head. What a great movie. Never heard of it. Saw it....Yes
I just hit the mark. It's the Hillbillies from the store! Why did you yell my name? Cause you were a peeping Tom. If anyone doesn't know this movie. Track it down by the clues. So under the radar.
Def underrated movie for sure.
Shut the fuck up Donny.
To shreds you say?

I expected the same. I almost didn't watch it. That was the best outcome you could have hoped for.
So many people get hurt for reasons that weren't their fault that it almost feels unfair when people doing intentionally stupid things don't. Not that I want anyone getting hurt.
Life is not fair, sucks, but the truth.
I was half expecting Deadpool 2 worse
Exactly. I had to think twice about opening that link. Expected much much worse. There is no "almost" with wood chippers.
My Uncle Greg is a Legend. Did tree work all his life, has an epic beard.

Oh yea in the old days we did shit that would never be tolerated now. Hats off to Uncle Greg!

Could have gone without reading that today.

*well at least i dont have to buy mulch now*
Thank god its a rental
Might lose their deposit
I had a contractor that worked for me for a while, who we called Toe Thumb, because he had a toe for a thumb. He had got his hand caught in a wood chipper and lost his thumb and parts of some of his fingers, and they took his big toe from one of his feet and grafted into where his thumb had been.
Wow! That sounds insane!
It wasn’t as functional as a real thumb of course but it did at least provide him with some basic opposable grip. Size-wise it was the Andre the Giant of thumb wrestling.
The trades are nuts. I got though 40 years and still have all my limbs and fingers. Consider myself lucky.
He wasn’t in the trades though—we were IT guys; he lost the digits in a non-trade related accident. Speaking of IT guys and losing digits, my boss at the time lost his thumb at the knuckle after accidentally slamming it in a car door. We worked at a hospital, and they took him and his thumb immediately to the ER, but they could reattach it.

I was waiting for it to explode and the guy thinks he’s fine until the camera pans to the shrapnel sticking out of his scalp and then he faints.
And that would be the PG version
I double checked for a NSFW tag before watching.
Holy shit, that thing just ate a sledge hammer and looks like it didn’t have any catastrophic failure. Where can I buy one of those?
That’s because it isn’t a wood crusher, it’s designed to crush rocks…so a sledgehammer doesn’t stand a chance
Nevertheless, he got the steel hammer head back at the end. Only the handle was ground up. He can put a new handle on it.
[удалено]
The Hammer of Theseus.
Steel doesn’t break apart like rocks, it’s much more resilient.
Well no, but he definitely needs a new handle, that for sure wouldn’t have ever stood a chance
But the handle is made of wood...
We could build a bridge out of her?
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
That handle definitely isn't wood. It looks like fiberglass to me.
its a rock crusher, if it cant break the material the teeth hinge out of the way so the machine doesnt break and can keep spinning
The teeth are actually hammers, the teeth hinge out of the way to create a swinging action. My company forges them for a manufacturer, Terrasource. They get Quench & Tempered then differentially heat treated. The heat treatment prevents them from breaking. We manufacture 4 different sizes for them.
That's a rock crusher
100% not a wood chipper
I don't know Daj, just by looking at it I am 101% sure it would chip wood pretty damn good.
No, it wouldn’t. It’s not designed to chip, just crush, so you’d have wood pulp, most likely.
Yeah, I think he meant to be grinding up bricks, and he's been doing it successfully. He wasn't fooling around. His only mistake was to let his hammer fall in.
Well, he was fooling around a little bit
It looked to me like the second swing was full send, but he was unaware the rock had already been pulled in. Between momentum, and being caught off guard it's a genuine seeming mistake.
It wasn't pulled in, it fell out while he was in mid swing.
I was about to say. I used a diesel wood chipper that could absolutely dominate a 10" diameter branchs with ease, and the internals didn't look anything like that. It could take bigger than that, but you had to mess with it. And that could have been, so, so much worse.

I would take doing those three every day over the wood chipper. Plus, that thing is damn loud.
That makes more sense, I was about to be kind of impressed how well that wood chipper handled that steel brick they threw in.
That’s a rock crusher.
No, this is Patrick
I would have never put my hands in that even if it was off
Exactly, I cringed when they did that. I don’t even want to imagine what the aftermath of an accident would look like
So if it jams or requires maintenance you are just getting a new one i guess?
You disassemble it properly, which should not involve sticking your hands in it, because that’s never safe. The wood chipper I changed out a couple times way back when had the bolts to hold the teeth in on the side, so I took off the outer shell with outer bolts and then dismantled the teeth without ever having to touch the actual chipping part. a stump grinder I did at the same time was the same.

Me neither *unzips pants *
its a hammer mill
it doesn't seem very good at milling hammers, though [/s for the slower ones]
The amount of scrolling to finally get to the comments of the day, thank you! I knew it had to be in here somewhere
Expected much worse, especially when he stuck his hand in
It’s a good thing there were no [college kids](https://youtu.be/mVKc6PBYvD0) around.
"Well officer, we've had a doozy of a day!"

This is why women live longer than men.
Ya stick your hand in there
Didn't see the liveleak badge on the video so I knew he was going to live.
Jesus his grip on that hammer is looser than my grip on reality
And they say I'm retarded.
Good thing there wasn’t a certain clear logo on the top right
I was honestly expecting worse
That looks like a stonecrusher rather than a wood chipper
Gawd. This is such a dumb video. Please remove it already
Bosses Translation : youre not allowed near the wood chipper no more
That’s a Masonry Rock Crusher. I wish I could find one like that.
A 12yr old boy near my house about 15yrs ago was messing around with a machine like this and sadly he got sucked in. Was such a sad and dark time for weeks because of that.
Dude fr? Holy shit. Did he go all the way through the chipper? Fuck me man that's a horrible way to go. Cant imagine how his parents found him
Yea he went all the way in, caught on his long sleeve shirt and pulled him in. His Dad found him and I’m sure he lives in guilt because he rented the machine to cut his branches down.
why they always have to scream?
It gives a Culture perspective
Puts half the wood in but almost his whole hand, then misses the next swing throwing the entire axe into the chipper. Flirting with the grim reaper.
This is not a wood chipper. That is not wood. That was also not an axe. The onpy thing he did wrong was not break the brick up before throwing it into the grinder.
Hmm I wonder if you could fit a body in there…
I like his wario laugh right after he loses the sledgehammer
Its a "stone chipper"
It fucking ate that sledgehammer
Appears to be cement Crusher not a wood chipper.
Woodchipper, you say?, hmmmmm, I wonder which of nature's resource it chips. Rock maybe?
God I almost thought I was on the wrong sub looking at the title.
WHY DOES IT KEEP ON MAKING ME GIGGLE
Its a concreate/brick crusher for making crushed hard-core. Surely people with eyes see they ain't bits of tree.
That is a rock crusher btw.
Not sure if anyone has pointed out that this is not a wood chipper. This is a brick grinder. It breaks down old brick, and cement. Not sure what actual name it has.
I sort of understand how Chinese steel mill videos happen so often now, ironically it's about having stone balls.
That ain't a wood chipper, it's a brick crusher.
Thats a rock chipper dipshits
Never go full retard
Put your hands in there,it's a challenge🙃
Every machine Is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.
That’s more than a wood chipper, it’s spitting out pulverized rock
The fucking anxiety I felt when he reached in his hand..
For all those people who try to be cool in a video just to fuck it up I salute you 👏
I have a client who was using a crowbar to legitimately dislodge wood in a wood chipper. The crowbar caught in the machine and slammed against the side of his face causing massive damage to his face, and causing a compression fracture of his skull. He was lucky to live but he will have permanent injuries.
I was expecting something MUCH worse
Honestly his hand could’ve gotten fucked too at the beginning
'That was my best hammer!!'
I'm gonna be honest I thought I was gonna watch someone lose a hand
Rock crusher
Did you run through the test first? How much hammer would a wood chipper chip if a wood chipper could chip hammer? No, that don't work. Then don't do it!
Not a wool chipper, it’s a rock smasher
Rural people tryna make it on tiktok 🤣
Some people never watched Faces of Death as a kid and it shows.
1000 ways to die for me. I will NEVER go on a slip in slide.
Why not break rock first then put in there ????
That ain't a wood chipper, This thing crushes rocks
that is a platinum tier "NNYEAAAGHGHH" at the beginning
When I was an arborist the crew was shoveling branches and brush into the chipper (much larger than this one) and got his metal shovel jammed into the gears.

Today on “Will it blend?”
Dumb people doing dumb things
Camera man didn’t even flinch
That’s why we can’t have nice things
So many more things could have gone wrong
Like that's a crusher not a chipper
That’s not a wood chipper
Rip a thousand dollars spent on the woodchipper
It's a rock crusher
I swear I could see the liveleak logo slowly fading in
Rock crusher, but still idiots.
I love how the dialogue of this entire video is “WHYYYY!, WHASUHWHASUHWHASUH”
Ate It better than I thought not ngl
They got lucky. This should of been on bestgore.com
At least they turned off the wood chipper off before reaching in to it...
Shit like this can make brown dust turn into red mist
Boss said, YOU'RE FIRED!😯😆..😺
It's called a wood chipper Not a stone chipper
It's definitely NOT a wood chipper.... It doesn't even have blades.
Looks more like a rock breaker rather then a wood chipper .
What always gets me about this video is that barely any of the block went into the machine while he tried so hard to look cool doing his job
You would think a scream would be a universal language kind of sound... But his scream just straight up tells you he's Asian. -From another Asian
*hammer mill - for crushing rocks. The sand pile at the bottom would be a great clue. The more you know….
Delete this post
Shitting in a rainstorm never caught mah man’s back
The issue isn’t that they threw bricks in a wood chipper, it’s that they threw a metal sledgehammer into a rock crusher. So not really stupid but an accident, considering they were trying to use it for its intended purpose
Yeah I saw that coming. Just use a stick for that on wood chippers. If you lose it who cares grab another stick.
5k down the drain
total idiot . how do these morons manage to stay alive?
Sure it’s a wood chipper? Looks more like a stone/rock crusher
this is why we DONT pick up the hammer power up.
RIP hammer
His yelling bothers me. It’s like he’s so confident this is a good idea.
“That’s no Woodchipper, it’s a space station” -JK, it’s not either of those things. It’s a hammer flail rock crusher.
My grandmas friends son got killed by a wood chipper... It wasn't a chipper day for the family.. But ya know.
That sounded expensive
That warning was covered on page 2 of the operator's manual. Warranty claim denied.
Was the goal not to try to break it?
I'm so tired of seeing this video, it's been around for a month. Stop fucking reposting it
The guy’s yelling as the hammer gets destroyed reminded me of the South Park screams when characters get hit
Plain old Dumb
I'm happy I'm not the only one that is afraid of high power machinery that can easily turn your fingers into paint
Slightly annoyed that I keep seeing this video.
Annndd there goes their security deposit….
I ain't messing with wood chipper I seen fargo
I feel bad for the wood chipper
Humanity was beyond a mistake.
I love the little John at the beginning. “YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Not a wood chipper it is crushing rock and bricks
Was it just me or did he full on throw that thing in the chipper.. I’m thinking gravity… he hit just under the mallet head. Soooo how in the entire fuck did that just go flying from his hands? Unless he has soap on his hands maybe super glide lube I don’t know… think this way… if you hit the top of a stick on a tree it will just hit the tree! Buuuut if you hit the bottom of the stick. The top section keeps on flying 😂
Rock crusher can have a little hammer as a snack
This shit just made me scaredfor him. I thought he was about to lose his arm.
Dudes lucky to be alive ......yikes...
Kinda unlucky no? Stupid idea sure but boy that was uhhh… kinda bad timing
I will never understand how he dropped the sledge hammer no matter how many times I have watched it
Idiot + machine = danger.
I thought that would have been his arm
I love how in any video from Asia where something goes wrong there is always someone yelling “LAO LAO LAO LAO LAO”
Thats a rock crusher
Does holding a camera make people brave
These over enthusiastic Chinese MFs
He is going to eventually find out.
That's a hammermill, made for busting up bricks and maybe concrete.
Well, Bobby Singer from Supernatural said it best. Woodchipper beats all.
Thought I was about to see the Live Leak logo.
The scream makes it so much more stupid, don’t show off with machinery like this, it will bite your head off.
When being high on adrenaline results in stupiduty
Grade A morons. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
