I was reading the other day about a similar situation. Farmer gets his arm caught in the machine and was being pulled into it. Then the machine burst into flames, he caught fire while being sucked into the machine.
So, he pulled out his buck knife and cut his arm to free himself. Then extinguished the fire on his body. Walked two miles to the county road an flagged down a car.
Driver of the car was an off duty paramedic.
I think that God didn’t want the guy to die that day.

This guy should really be in some other line of work. Maybe an office. Or sales. Because he and heavy machinery just don’t get along.

I met a farmer years ago who cut off an arm stuck in a corn picker. He said his father always told him to carry a pocket knife in each pocket just in case.

Portable augurs driven by an electric motors are often used to move grain, but the point is the same - body parts will not stop them.
