This is quite extreme........be warned that the content will make some of you shudder.
I can't imagine having to be the police, emt's, or the workers that had to deal with this.
Man survives diving into wood chipper in Roseville (http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S446543.shtml?cat=1)
A man tried to kill himself with a wood chipper in Roseville Thursday afternoon.
The crew of a tree repair service company was clearing trees in a public area when the man appeared and jumped head-first into the industrial-sized wood chipper.
The workers immediately turned off the machines and called 911.
The man was rushed to Regions Hospital in St. Paul where he remains in the intensive care unit. Officials say he suffered severe, life-threatening injuries to his head and torso.
Roseville Police said the incident was likely a suicide attempt, noting that the man did not leave a note or any indication of his intentions.
While 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS does not normally report suicides, the incident was in a public area. In fact, a hardware store’s surveillance camera may have captured the event on tape and police will review the video.
Police reported that the man is 19 to 21-years-old, but no other information has been released.
