Horrible Kings Mountain NC Chipper Accident

[Bigstumps]

Prayers for young man who lost his life 1st day on the job! Never a better time than today to stress safety and training to everyone involved in this profession! I have witnessed way too many potentially dangerous habits in this industry - it is up to us to stress safe practices.

Someone should have been with him if it was his first day on the job... Sad.. I couldn't imagine!
