Naked man turns himself into a haybale – Hilarity ensues.

It all fake, but funny. Firstly, he skipped the pick-up head, which has tines that pick up the hay and bring it into the baler. Following that is a shoot that begins forming the hay into the bale size. In order to do that, there is a heavy-duty piston that then forces the hay into the shoot, cycling many times with crushing force to also push the bale through to the shoot to the final tying end (using wire, or poly, or twine). Thus, he would be crushed during this step. And there is no way, the piston and hay enables forming around the LIVE body of anything. The body would be crushed or so severely deformed as to kill the entity.
Being an engineer, that’s exactly how I thought the bailer would work......and that the video had to be fake.
Having dealt with bales of hay & straw for years (horses), I knew that a system, likely hydraulic, had to compress the bales tightly before they were strung........
Thanks!
I think there was some video trickery here...that’s why he wasn’t hurt.
I’m not sure it’s even the same guy.I think that someone was already in the empty bale chamber when the first guy appeared to enter the machine.
There should be a law against people taking video who can’t hold a camera steady.

I think the shaky camera helps them sell the illusion.
It’s definitely a well-rehearsed ruse but now there’s a good chance some knucklehead out there will have one too many beers and decide to do this for real - with the predictable results.
Actually, I was commenting on the YouTube video about "How a hay baler works"
Meth is bad, mmm’kay?
Same thing happened to my dad. My brother-in-law was able to get on the clutch quick enough as his overalls were pulled PTO. He, too, kept his credentials.
