yeah - couple of things i would specifically look for in chipper safety is

(a) bottom feed stop bar - add a sensitivity switch if you like so it is not triggered by accident

(b) safely packed machine - heavy duty steel

(c) big infeed opening - e.g. reducing chainsaw work

(d) good feed table height to reduce back strain etc

(e) brightly colored machine

(f) angle of the discharge chute - rotating away from operators

(g) safety chains for towing and electric brakes

(h) safety decals and manuals

(i) good operator training by the manufacturer or dealer when machine is bought...

Just my opinion... Cheers/
