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?

😂😂😂

Yep a large shop vac would do well too

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.

Working harder than smarter

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

They just can’t get out

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

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 🤷‍♂️

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

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

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

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

If it saves a life! Then yes.

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.

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

Lmfao yes

It was a scooting chair, lol. That's funny though.

Because she was annoying

lmao same

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

They “”

I can't imagine being more obsessed over politics than the safety of another human life.

I can't imagine believing everything I read on the internet.

Proof some people need to get their priorities straight Life >>> Politics

She can't really, u get stuck.

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

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. 😅

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.

Why is it a shame?

🤓🤓🤓

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

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

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