For shear number of accidents, I'd say a hammer is my nemesis. My legs look they were chewed by beaver from all the times I've hit myself. No broken bones yet though.
That didn't so much scare me as shock me. What bothers me is getting caught on brush and pulled in. Might not happen as easily as I imagine. I've only seen chippers work on the side of the road or something. I've never been close enough to study the operation.
I saw a video demo once of what could happen if a climb line got tossed in the chipper. Sucked the dummy in in a second, and spit out a bunch of shreds and a hardhat D^:
Are chippers as scary as they look? I've never been close to one, but there looks like a lot of ways for things to go wrong. A chipper would worry me more than a chainsaw.
