Man napping in cornfield survives being run over by combine

Used up one of his nine lives, that's for sure.

Was the guy inebriated?

Surely most people would wake up when there is machinery approaching.

talk about a guardian angel, how lucky this man was to escape with the slight injuries he has.

 

[Depmandog]

All I can say is WOW. He one lucky dude. Had he been center mass of the corn head - no doubt he would have been killed.

How many lawyers does it take to grease a combine? Three.....if you run them through real slow!! :laughing:

Fell asleep in someone's corn field? Natural selection at work (almost).

Kinda what I was thinking - dodged a Darwin Award. But the article doesn't tell if he was drugged, drunk or some poor dude with Alzheimers or such. Best not to judge without more information, JMO. Whatever; sure glad I wasn't driving the combine.

Are there any pictures of the combined guy? Be interested in seeing em. Morbid curiosity, that's all. He had to be a mess.

 

[JoeBuyer]

I was wondering if he had his hair done in corn rows and that is why the operator didn't see him.

At least he wasn't seriously injured so we can joke.

It does not sound like he was under thr tire, so thats good..... But who takes a bus into town and sleeps in a corn field...
