That looked terrifying for her and it was a simulation. I can't imagine the fear someone actually stuck would have.

[@hesnotdeadhesjustdelicous]

she made it seem like it was nothing i literally work at the grain bins never gone through this training so that means i won’t ever get into a bin but no shit imagine getting paid barely above minimum wage to go do some shitty ass job if even done properly your suffocating in there regardless and don’t even get me started in the smell. imagine being trapped 80 feet above ground level in utter darkness just for your job that doesn’t pay hazard pay would you be scared?

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

I've never seen any method of grain silo rescue, and hearing about how much pressure is on you when partially (or fully) covered, it sounds like rescue technology like this is really needed. I would just add that they might need something for the dust, in case it gets unbreathable for someone in distress.

[@farmerbill6855]

A vacuum is much better than that auger thing. Preferably a grain vac but a shop vac will work too. Use plywood for the walls. They're technically on the right track but far to clunky equipment.

[@lambo25]

Yep a large shop vac would do well too

[@Rustyshackleford.]

This is why I always carry a microwave.

[@ClappyCakes]

😂😂😂

[@hashbrown2849]

Lol that's something Dale would say too

[@evanperez7236]

I have yet to see someone actually try hard to get out tho like it seems like they just stand there I would be freakin out!!

[@knogne5073]

They just can’t get out

[@lo0nyt0onz]

Your locked in. Your more likely to tear your ligaments and muscle then getting out from struggling. Struggling will make you sink more.

[@Justin-zj7lr]

I work in a grain elevator. If you move you sink quicker. Best bet is to lay down as much as you can & hopefully you don't die by the time someone hears you. We have walkie talkies though, but you'll be dead in our bins within a few minutes. I always tell new coworkers if they fall in we won't be able to save them 🤷‍♂️

[@MattShine11]

@@Justin-zj7lrreally? How many people have died? What’s going on? She was just standing there. What did they turn on?

[@PhilVTN8]

So what happens if you loop a rope under her arms, tie off anywhere, then dump grain until she's free enough to pull out? The rescue tubes seem unnecessarily complicated, to waste less grain?

[@alexsawchuk5371]

I just went through training on this, it is because grain silos aren’t equipped with a dump, the only way to drain the grain is with the auger at the bottom, and doing that could very easily pull the victim into it and shred them. The other way to dump it would be cut a hole with a saw but grain dust is explosive, therefor there’s a lot of risk involved with that. Grain has a surprisingly large amount of pull and weight behind it, so even if you tie them off they could still be pulled in very strongly, breaking limbs or possibly even ripping the harness off and fully submerging them.

[@win_cie]

i feel like this could be solved easily like put a really big door in every silo and get a remote that opens the door so that the silo will drain if u fall in there r prolly some engineers who’d slap me across the face if i suggested that tho so idk. but as of rn i don’t see why it wouldn’t work

[@unkokusaiwa]

It's corn! A great way to die! It's got the juice, it's like a big lump with knobs

[@funveeable]

So does it work without something draining it at the bottom.

[@geezerguy6410]

Why they dont have a hex socket on the drill and nut ont the auger drive I'll never know

[@joejohn3709]

Working harder than smarter

[@richceglinski7543]

Yep that drill shank drive is poorly engineered or lacking it. Wasted a lot of time trying to tighten a drill chuck on it,

[@ddd42809]

@@richceglinski7543 It looks like a hex shaft to me. It just took a bit to get it tightened on there.

[@kindpotato]

Im curious if something like snowshoes would be wise to use.

[@robertkukulis8491]

Nope cause the usualy there îs a pocket which snaps n u fall into and than the top piles over

[@kindpotato]

@@robertkukulis8491 true you would just end up getting stuck more if the grain falls on top of the snow shoe

[@t-towntransparency8850]

So wear snow shoes in it... I mean serioualy though?

[@OKOK-hm2is]

NO. It wont help when there is a cavity underneath, you will be sucked in even if wearing snow shoes. But than it will be much harder to get you out

[@PilatesWithMeSDickens707]

OMG I never know it would be that difficult! Remind me the movie Dressmaker ! Tedy jumped into it by mistake and died ! Now I know why ! Horrific!

[@DJ-zn1nt]

Now the grains are soaked… smh

[@Alexander-p6v]

Funny

[@Tadesan]

Lol. A woman in a grain silo. That's the most ignorant unrealistic thing I've ever seen in my life. Even worse than that music video for Satisfaction by Benni Benassi. Shame on you all really.

[@419roofing]

There’s gotta be a better way, this seems so shark tacky to me and a way better volunteer, this lady was acting like this wasn’t a simulation lol

I’d never rescue someone from a grain bin without knowing who the voted for.

I’m not a trumper and even I saw the humor in this comment 😂 (Didn’t vote for Biden either he sucks too)

[@92kris]

Why she being so annoying lol I’m sure she volunteered for this…we know it’s tight and you cant move!!!! They weren’t paying her no mind😂

[@redbreadredemption2401]

you're supposed to train with rescuing people who are panicking.

[@E3ECO]

Why can't they just pull her out? I know you can't do that to someone stuck in mud or you'll rip them apart, but grains have air around them so shouldn't create any suction.

[@sluggytube]

They have all the suction. It can take hours to rescue someone trapped in a grain silo (or recover a body trapped in one)

[@briangillispie9118]

It's like she didn't even try...

[@CatDaddy.]

She can't really, u get stuck.

[@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands]

Seems like a lot of extra money and time to waste when you could easily have a few men pull her out probably even just one.

[@person-zl4xk]

I don’t know much about grain however from what I’ve heard grain is surprisingly extremely heavy, even if the victim is tied off with a harness to a winch, apparently it could severely injure the victim

[@nitrix8505]

Seems like you dont know but, when someone is stuck in any types of silo : grain kernel etc its very heavy which causes it to hold apart someones body which is gonna make it very hard for you to move. So its not gonna be possible if you just carry someone in it. 😅

[@KJ-kv7of]

Of course they made the woman the one to be engulfed! Out of all of those men. That's a shame.

[@tyejames]

They look like they’re training and she looks like/sounds like a reporter who doesn’t even work there. Of course she’s gonna be the one to go in lmao.

[@acp865]

Why is it a shame?

[@linux4070]

🤓🤓🤓

[@MuleBlanche]

She was skinny enough. Most of the farmers we knew in the Midwest would have been too portly for the wall of rescue.

[@jamiececilielange5249]

She obviously volunteered or got asked and said yes. Looked to be in a good mood too, besides being a little nervous.

[@natoshi_sakamoto]

What a dumb way to save someone from this.

[@JivanPal]

How do you propose to save them, o great and wise one?

[@thefieldphoneguy8254]

I remember going to the county fair growing up in Iowa and the Future Farmers of America used to have a safety demo where you would sit in a wooden box and they would fill it with shell corn up to your chest and then tell you to stand up. You couldn't stand up no matter how hard you tried. The goal was to demonstrate how dangerous moving grain was and how little it took to trap someone and how it would take several people to literally dig you out.

[@jeil5676]

Its smart that they brought along that metal coffin. It should save some time when disposing of the dead body.

[@TonyBoutHisMoney]

😂😂😂😂

[@itsjustbert]

Is this a common enough occurrence to warrant the equipment?

[@SeanPat1001]

Unfortunately, yes. There were 22 cases of people trapped in grain in the US in 2022.

[@Dc7383-f9u]

If it saves a life! Then yes.

[@SeanPat1001]

Hopefully, the focus on this kind of accident and the expense of protecting against it will encourage people who handle grain to find some way to manage it without having people walking on it.

[@macgrubber100]

Yes many people have died

[@dailyfermentations7197]

Quite common

[@jerryjalomo5719]

Did anyone else hear a fart at 1:05

why did he pour grain on her head

[@psychokiller9824]

Because she was annoying
