You can't make this stuff up: Crazy stories ripped from the headlines

If its anything like construction dry is worse to get out of.
And its easier to suffocate from dry content than wet.

Example: if you fall into a tank of liquid, whether its waster, oil or something else, you can tread to stay above it.
If its dry, treading motion often makes you go deeper and when you breathe out, the dry material collapses in around your chest and it gets harder and harder to breath back in because the dry material won't expand like liquid (Sand, grain, chocolate powder, or other)
It will be interesting to see if more details come out.

I just saw on national news outlet that they were waist deep, so no real concern with suffocation.

Wet or dry the possibility of 'death by chocolate' sounds like the basis for a Monty Python skit.
Humorous, if it is not you; frightening if it is.

It wasn't the salmon mousse, it was the chocolate mousse!

That sure brings back memories.
They are still performing.

Grain entrapment or engulfment is no joke. There’s roughly 20 people a year killed by it in the US. Usually engulfment means body recovery. There was a guy recently who survived 5 hrs, but he happened to be wearing a fan supplied air respirator because of his asthma.

Researchers in Germany found that an average person who has sunk into grain once it has stopped flowing can get out only as long it has not reached knee level; at waist level assistance is required. Once the grain has reached the chest a formal rescue effort must be undertaken.

I had a good friend who died in a silo because he was checking something as it was filling. He was overcome with the fumes of the silage (essential methane gas) and fell into the silo. There was 0% chance of saving him as soon as he was overcome with the fumes.

Using only his nose, a Colorado Springs man will push a peanut up the Barr Trail to Pikes Peak summit

Hiking about 13 miles to the top of Pikes Peak via the Barr Trail is quite the feat. But this guy is taking the hike to another level — a much, much nuttier one, if you will. He's going to push a peanut the whole way with his nose.

That’s pretty weird.
Destroy your back and knees for something that stupid. How many peanuts do they get?

Several objections to the article.
(01) The Hamptons? Nobody go there anymore. It's too crowded.
(02) if the subjects of the article are truly the "wealthiest", they would not be driving. They would be flying.
(03) No one in their right mind would ever mess with their prostate if they are still utilizing other associated body parts.
(04) If item #03 is the case. What is the point?

So instead of pulling off to the side of the road he touts surgery at $20k a pop...can you spell unethical?
