Guy Jumps Into a Hay Baler - What Is This Fake Viral Video Advertising?

topic:
Videos

guy in hay bale When a stunt "randomly caught on camera" is just too perfect, or verifiably impossible, it's probably an ad, like the tape measure tricks or laptop-catching butts or guys flipping into Levis or the guy catching sunglasses on his face. And now a naked guy jumps into a hay baler and comes out wrapped in a bale of hay.

But what is this advertising? Jumping into a hay baler will kill you, so a tractor manufacturer probably wouldn't run this kind of viral ad. Anyone wanna guess?

Real.
Hay balers won't kill you. They just bunch up the hay and wrap it with wire or twine.
How can that hurt you?

They doesn't jump into the bailer, and it isn't running either.

They squash it together so it would crush you

bales are very dense

Try jumping into this one, and see how well it goes.

Balers are brutal machines.

So you're saying that getting pulled into a machine like this won't kill you?

It compacts hay down into a 4" thick block per revolution. I don't think you would do too well being crammed into a 24"x24"x4" block.
