You had me at Florida... Wood Chipper Edition!

I am generally not one for prohibitions, but there is a trend in Florida of people being killed by wood chippers:

Roziland Jennifer Mowell, 24, of Lakeland, was working with a crew from Ashbranch Tree Service on Wednesday when she became caught in the chipper, police said. Mowell's husband, R. Bryan Mowell, owns the tree service company.

Using his hands for support, the man climbed into the chipper and kicked the branches through.In an instant, the machine pulled half his body through its blades, killing him before he could cry for help, said Hillsborough County sheriff's Lt. Fred Asteasuainzarra, who described the accident Thursday evening.

In January 1999, a 22-year- old man died in Valrico when he used his foot to free a branch stuck in a chipper. Joshua Avery of Dover worked for Farrens Tree Surgeons. 

In March 2003, a 24-year-old woman died in a similar accident. Roziland Jennifer Mowell, whose husband owned Ashbranch Tree Service, died in Lakeland when she became caught in a chipping machine.
