Grain entrapment/engulfment has always been one of the top six big hazards in the grain industry. Unfortunately too many incidents are still happening. According to the Purdue University 2020 Agriculture Confined Space Accident Summary, 20 fatal and 15 non-fatal grain engulfment farm and commercial incidents were reported in 2020--a 7.9% decrease from 2019.
