They jam sometimes. People reach in there to clear the impacted snow or occasional branch or rock and once the blades start moving again, BOOM. Combine that with being drunk (people still do drink to stay warm) and it's a disaster. Injuries aren't near as common as they used to be though.
My roommate in Iowa dad lost his arm to a snow blower, how in the fuck are they so dangerous?
No machine is dangerous, it's always the operator that's dangerous.
I think the father is the dangerous one
