Y'all are forgetting the scariest part. He went in FEET FIRST!! That means he experienced all that pain before he died! Would've been so much better had he gone in head first.
Of course, trying to dislodge a stuck piece of wood with your head brings into light a whole another issue....
Just to clarify, when using the Human Blender for official business, the customer always goes in feet first. Gives him something to think about.
natural selection .. ayone who sticks his appendages inisde a woodchiiper that is on deserves to be taken out of the gene pool

"The man was using his foot to clear debris that had jammed the wood chipper"

Good idea!
