Steven, I personally know of two instances where children were pulled into augers.

In the first one, a friend of mine somehow got his arm caught in an auger, but survived. It was a small electric auger and stalled out. Doctors were able to save his arm, but it was permanently damaged such that he couldn't use it very well.

In the other instance, a girl was allowed to play in a grain truck as it was unloading. She slid head first out the grain door and into the auger. The girl lost both arms and died before they could get her to a hospital.

Young children should be kept as far away from operating augers as possible.
