He strained himself.

Nice. Although in that case wouldn't it be the screen who ran through him?

This happened in Tampa back in 2004 in the Lake Ellen/Carrollwood area. He only made it halfway, though:

WORKER DIES IN WOOD CHIPPER

A tree service worker trying to dislodge debris from a jammed wood chipper slipped, fell inside and was killed instantly Thursday in Lake Ellen Woods.

Gordon McKay, 51, of 1013 W Woodlawn Ave. was an employee of Albury's Tree Service and was cutting up trees with three or four co-workers at a home in the 3200 block of Rowan Lane, off Fletcher Avenue, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Just before 5 p.m. Thursday, something got stuck inside the wood chipper, and the man climbed on top of the curbside machine trying to clear it, officials said. Somehow, he got caught in the chipper and fell in feet first up to his hips, dying immediately.

I remember the local news saying a woman assisting him witnessed the incident happen and immediately passed out in shock. The neighborhood's roads were closed down for sometime that day while police tried to figure out how to cleanup the scene. Nasty.

wow

Overwhelmed and lost,
the confused mind becomes still.
Unlike the chipper.

I didn't know whether to put this in the Hall of Fame or Spontaneous Poems. Poems won! Hope you don't mind, it was too clever to let pass quietly.

I wish I could do
Stupid Japanese Haiku
But I am too dumb.

Impressed with your skill
I fumble to find the words
to compliment you
