Corteva Agriscience donates grain rescue tubes to communities where Pioneer sales agencies are located. Tune in to watch this demonstration of how they are used.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
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?
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.
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.
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.
Aaanndd shes dead....slow people that dont look like they really know what they are doing. In a real time crisis situation the victim would be totally screwed.
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. 😅

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

This is why I always carry a microwave.

Yep a large shop vac would do well too
Audio is very difficult to understand.
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!!
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.

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

Why they dont have a hex socket on the drill and nut ont the auger drive I'll never know
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,
Is this a common enough occurrence to warrant the equipment?
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.
It's corn! A great way to die! It's got the juice, it's like a big lump with knobs
Im curious if something like snowshoes would be wise to use.
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
So wear snow shoes in it... I mean serioualy though?
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
Video starts at 1:13...youre welcome
why did he pour grain on her head
Because she was annoying
TikTok brought me
lmao same
Did anyone else hear a fart at 1:05
Lmfao yes
It was a scooting chair, lol. That's funny though.
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.
If we dont send woman down there sometimes , they will accuse us of sexism.

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😂
you're supposed to train with rescuing people who are panicking.
What a farse, it looks like Loral and Hardy!!! pretty shitty system!!!
I’d never rescue someone from a grain bin without knowing who the voted for.
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.
It's like she didn't even try...
She can't really, u get stuck.
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.

Of course they made the woman the one to be engulfed! Out of all of those men. That's a shame.
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.
What a dumb way to save someone from this.
How do you propose to save them, o great and wise one?
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!
