The crust forms at the top of the grain "cone" if the grain has not been leveled at the end of filling. The leveling is recommended by the bin manufacturer for the above reason as well as minimizing molding of material at the center. I have heard of crusts as thick as 24" or more and they can self support even if several feet of material underneath has been removed. The danger is when that crust finally breaks and the person winds up underneath most of that material. Add to that most modern bin augers have a rapid rate of removal that almost creates a downward suction means you cannot become disoriented in a bin for long. Unfortunately here in New York, the same type of incident has happened with young children in gravity wagons. Keep in mind most people cannot be deprived of oxygen for more than two minutes without affixiation. Does not allow much time to account for someone you think is missing or unaccounted for. Very serious business!
