Final narrative
An employee was feeding brush into a wood chipper. A climbing rope was tangled in the brush. It was drawn into the wood chipper and struck the worker, causing him to be thrown into the curbside guard panel of the machine. He suffered abrasions across the upper back, a broken left humerus (at the elbow), broken ribs, a diaphragmatic hernia, and a bruised and lacerated kidney. He was hospitalized.
