Man Jumps into Hay Baler

Anyone who has ever worked one of these machines knows that he would have instantly been delimbed. How do you think the flat sides of the bale get that way? Blades I tells ya! Large reciprocating blades!

Fake. While a clever idea for a video, this would not be possible.

He did the best to make it authentic – jumping out of a moving tractor. The bailer does not work otherwise.

Not to necessarily nitpick, but the cutting is done before the compressing, Hezzawezza.

the camera work has “professional attempting to look like an amateur” written all over it. i hate when people do this.

that is not how amateur videos look, they don’t wobble thaaat much, they certainly don’t zoom at opportune moments, and they usually either start or end with unnecessary long periods of boring footage that the person didn’t know how to edit out.

i don’t understand why they don’t just hire some random guy off the street to film these things, it would be infinitely more believable. i can film things very badly, i shake like a leaf and have little experience with cameras.

Sometime in the last few years, someone in my town was accidentally baled. I heard it was horribly gruesome, they had to gather up the pieces of what was left of him. Ugh all the bloody hay and machinery… This ad doesn’t sit well with me, it’s totally not real. It’s not funny at all.

Isn’t there anyone who can just relax and enjoy a faked video for what it is – an attempt at humor? This video is not narrated by David Attenborough for the BBC; it’s more like a Rowan and Martin segment or a Python sketch.

I agree with Adi. It’s definitely not real, nor is it funny. First thought I had was, “he’s trying to kill himself on video?” and then “What the?” and then “I hope no one believes this and tries it for themselves

my friend fell into a bailer when I was in kindergarten. It was the first funeral I ever went to. Fake, but I can appreciate the humour in the video.

My first thought was “Man, that hay must really be itchy on the private parts.”

Anyone who has once been near these machines has read the stickers on them.

Or at the very least, I did. It says: “Extreme danger, do not approach the moving parts”. I don’t think you could survive.

Looks like the lowest-ranked idea in a brainstorming session for a new Shredded Wheat commercial. (“How will it make YOU feel?”)

Check the mechanism inside a continuous round baller.
We can clearly see that nobody can survive to these bands !

P.S. It’s very funny D !!

And thank you, TheBlueCat, for pointing out the Darwinian cleansing effect for those who attempt to reproduce the stunt

The guy climbed into a cardboard box with holes cut out, and hay glued to the outside and stuffed in the bottom.
