Grain bin engulfments are swift, silent, and frequently fatal – not just for the victim, but for untrained bystanders who attempt a rescue. This session explains the physics of grain entrapment and why well-intentioned rescue attempts by untrained individuals so often result in double fatalities. Attendees will learn how technical rescue tubes enable safe extraction by stabilizing the grain around a victim, what fire departments need from farmers when they arrive on scene, and how you can prepare your operation in advance to support a technical rescue response.
