Reading this I can think of 2 ways this would happen first he had the bale in the air came out under to cut the twine or the more likely is he didn't have his seat belt on and got thrown out under the bale. It would be nice to have more information and maybe this could have been prevented safety has changed a lot since I grew up but also machines are faster and more powerful.
