This happened to my grandfather and thankfully a neighbor heard him yell and called 911 and they got him out. But in my opinion, there should be some form of pulley system that the if for whatever reason the farmer is trapped, they can either A) release all the corn through a chute going to the bottom, going outside or B) have a pulley/ harness system that attaches the farmer to the top of the silo. And in the case of an accident like this option B seems like the better way to go. You stay alive and don’t have to lose all the produce.

I bet that was a scary death, suffocating...
God bless our farmers. So sorry this happened. How awful! There's gotta be a safer way.

Anyone who dies in a silo was more than likely ignoring very obvious safety precautions. Silos are perfectly safe when proper respect is paid as to the risks
Terrible situation, I am sorry for your loss. 💔💐
Poor man
Why do these farmers not wear a harness?
Why do people keep making this mistake
I never knew this was so dangerous or has any earthly idea this type of thing goes on
