Grain entrapment is an agricultural injury in which a person enters a grain bin or silo to dislodge a blockage caused by out-of-condition grain and becomes partially or fully entrapped or engulfed in grain. Each year in the US, approximately 30-grain entrapments occur, with roughly 50% of the people entrapped dying. In this session, Dr. Salah Issa explores these incidents and tries to provide answers regarding the cause of injury and death in grain entrapment, engulfment, and extrication.
