True true, very good points. And apparently the murder box was indeed labeled.
and make it possible to quickly get people out when it goes wrong.
I think this is the part that needs work. If the only real solution is to cut a big hole in the side of the thing to let the grain out, maybe I don’t know, a door?
Like an emergency hatch that can be opened from the outside? Or even with a remote that the person inside could have on their person before entering. The remote could even be pressure activated so if pressure of the grain is crushing you it will automatically open the hatch.
I think they use a rope harness that keeps you from going down too far, and then they basically need to come dig you out if you do get pulled it.
That’s what I was implying with the sewer worker comparison, since they don’t get an escape hatch, just a harness, rope, and winches.
I’m willing to bet if you flipped to the next page after this diagram, it would say something along the lines of “and that’s why you always wear your harness”.
My guess would be that a door at bottom wouldn’t be able to let out enough material to free someone trapped at the top before it jammed up. When they empty them they only don’t jam because something is taking the grain away.
