[GRAPHIC] Courageous tale of farm accident survival - Brainerd Dispatch MN

[@MrRickle]

What an intense story. Thank god you’re alive. You have a fantastic attitude, I admire that.

[@2233golf2]

geez....how horrible.....he only survived because he kept his cool and because of a great farm neighbour,who stopped-while others just passed by....... Country folk are simply a different breed-hands on and get it done.... I wish him all the best for the rest of his life......

[@Janfey]

.....why you use so many......dots??.....

[@leessaaaw]

Wow, and still can’t believe some people were just passing by and never stopped. Thank God there are people like his neighbour. Super brave

I work on a farm where this exact same indecent happened accept his name was Chris Pollock he got both his arms caught in a picker also and it is a very scary thing that can easily be avoided , Chris was lucky enough to be one of the first people in PA to get a double hand transplant.

[@jashroy]

Quick thinking in an intense moment! But its always better to avoid the situation by staying clear of rotating machinery.

[@zram4x4]

Lucky he didn't bleed to death.

[@knightssayniii6350]

I'm glad he's ok. It was hard to hear him with all of the background noise.

[@SH19922x]

Stupid fuckin kid ruined it.

My buddy had this same thing happen to him about a week ago, he’d done it his whole life without incident. Had he not had his cell phone he would have lost his hand, lucky he will only need several surgeries to repair the skin on his hand.

[@LectronCircuits]

Farm accidents can happen to anybody at any time. Be careful out there or else you could end up buying the farm!

[@sweetb8085]

glad he survived. i hate machines.

[@Katch.22]

[@Meowface.]

Something similar happened to a young man working at his families produce store/farm around here Not sure exactly what occurred but they found their son dead in the field trapped in the machine Can't imagine it...just horrible Believe they ended up closing n selling the business

Seems as someone could of kept the kids quiet while he was telling his story. Very distracting. Hope he’s doing well.

Baler twine. Always good for something

[@farmallskittle]

+Tanner Nguyen they did not use baling twine they used the string from their clothes

[@aReallySwellGuy]

This person never shot another interview after this I’m sure. Must’ve been family

PTL u made it.

[@theamericanfarmer6223]

sounds like a guy I know

[@MOAB-UT]

I don't understand. These machines costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. A cell phone costs ~$500. Siri- Weather. Why not have a voice command on these machines that recognizes STOP or NO. Yes, they work over noise. I can have my blender on full blast and my voice command on my phone works every time. Or a seat sensor. Exit seat, machine shuts down. My poinst is that relatively simple tech that exists today could have saved this man when he slipped up.
