I probably would've folded under pressure.

actually the machine was set on "unfold."
the worst part is the vaccuum hose that removes the packing peanuts
will take two weeks to get a new one.

i know, right? it'd have been better if the machine was set on "fold," then he'd have just been crushed and injected with packing peanuts and we'd still have a working hose.
Of course he'd still be dead.

Did the news say "More on this story as it unfolds"?

it unfolded him and removed his "packing material." the first thing we did was to reverse the machine, fold and repack him, but once that hose gets clogged you gotta take the whole thing apart and blast air through it. when the ambulance got there the paramedics just... made us... stop.

OP has probably been on the interbutts long enough to not be phased by it. At least that's what it seems like.
