Another bad way to die: Man dies in grain silo

It happened this evening in New Roads. A guy working on the silo fell in and drowned in the grains.

Engulfment would suck.

I’d rather drown in pussy.

I imagine it's like quicksand. Move you move the deeper you end up

Jesus that's horrible.
Why don't they have some sort of emergency mechanism that allows the silo to open up and the grain to flow out onto the ground so the person could be freed?

Could you continually cup your hands and create an air hole? Real question

And ruin perfectly good grain?

Seriously baws? It's a human life. I'm imagining a large panel opening up, all the grain flows out over a large surface area, and the person can escape.

The farmer in the video didn't seem too concerned. Probably should wear some type of safety harness.

Would not work in this case, it is a huge silo

Where exactly would it flow? You think it would just spread out like water?

Would it not? If it's fine enough to drown in, shouldn't it?

Or they could just attach a grate over the grain level in the silo. That would allow the farmer to work without any risk of falling into the grain

Our batch annealing oven at work has an escape door in the back in case someone gets locked in there. People have been known to drive the forklift in there in the winter and get warm after the oven gets unloaded. If the big hydraulic door malfunctions and closed they could go out the escape door.
