A dad saved the life of a farmer who was nearly crushed to death by half a ton of hay in a serious outdoor mishap \u2014 by using an app to guide an emergency medical team to the rural location.<\/p>\n

Michael Moss, 39, had been eating lunch outside in his yard when he heard distant screams for help coming from the fields behind his home in Worksop, in Nottinghamshire, England<\/a>, according to SWNS, a British news agency.<\/p>\n

Moss ran in the general direction of the anguished cries.<\/p>\n

There, he found an idle tractor \u2014 and nearby, a farmer who was trapped underneath<\/a> a 1,000-pound industrial-sized bale of hay, said SWNS.<\/p>\n

The farmer, known only as “Stephen,” was pinned to the ground from the waist down and in excruciating pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was screaming, “Help me!”<\/p>\n

Moss tried to budge the heavy bale of himself with no luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So he dialed 999 \u2014 the number to dial for emergencies in the U.K.<\/a> \u2014 but knew he couldn’t guide the ambulance to the exact location because it was so rural.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The father told SWNS that, thinking quickly, he decided to use his what3words app \u2014 which provides an accurate location for emergency services using three randomized words as a code.<\/p>\n

What3words Limited, based in London, owns the app<\/a>. The system encodes geographic coordinates into three permanently fixed dictionary words.<\/p>\n

Once Moss told the emergency call handlers the words “dads,” “scorched” and “hairstyle,” medics were able to pinpoint where he was to within a three meter-square radius.<\/p>\n

Moss, a dad of two<\/a>, told SNWS, “It had been my daughter’s 6th birthday on June 23 \u2026 I was working and had been eating a sandwich outside before my next meeting.”<\/p>\n

He said it was nearly 1:30 p.m. and that he could “hear a noise coming from about half a kilometer away” \u2014 a little over a quarter of a mile away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Where we live is very rural,” he said. “When you hear something unusual, you twitch your head. I heard it three times and thought, \u2018That\u2019s definitely not a good noise.\u2019 I had to investigate what the noise was.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I ran through the woodland in my flip-flops \u2026 [I] could hear, \u2018Help me!\u2019 as I got closer. A male voice was screaming, \u2018Help me!'”<\/p>\n

Moss said, “I could see a tractor cab parked. I was worried what I was going to face now \u2014 [was] he impaled, etc.? Who knows. That really triggered, \u2018How am I going to deal with this?\u2019”<\/p>\n

He said he found the farmer “severely injured<\/a> under the hay bale. It\u2019s not the first thing you\u2019d think to see.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said he’d approached the tractor from behind and saw that “something [had] fallen from the forks that he\u2019s been working on,” SWNS reported.<\/p>\n

Said Moss, “I saw the hay bale and a top half of a body. I tried to shoulder-barge this huge half-ton hay bale, but that didn\u2019t work.”<\/p>\n

So he asked the man “if he was losing blood, how the pain was. I was trying to get it for the 999 call. He told me to grab the phone for 999.”<\/p>\n

Moss said, “I was thinking about how to describe where I [was] for emergency services. A previous boss worked in emergency services and said I should download what3words, but this was the first time I’d ever used it.”<\/p>\n

He added, “As I’m on 999, they ask where we are. I said, ‘I’ve got what3words’ and they said that was good \u2026 [The emergency call handler] knew exactly where I was instantly.”<\/p>\n

Paramedics arrived at the scene 15 minutes later and administered pain relief to the farmer, SNWS said. They transported him to the nearest hospital, which was an hour away.<\/p>\n

Moss said he was also able to help the farmer call his farmhands \u2014 who also arrived at the scene to “try to shift the heavy bales.”<\/p>\n

Said Moss, “There was another hay bale above him. It had slipped. That was above his head [and] it was starting to slip near his head.”<\/p>\n

Added Moss, “You could hear the relief when we got the hay bale off and he tried to move about \u2026 The best way to describe his lower body [is that it] was like a squashed frog. His leg was in an unnatural [position].”<\/p>\n

Farmer Stephen suffered severe trauma to his pelvis and femur, but Moss believes it could have been much worse if he hadn\u2019t got there when he did, SWNS said.<\/p>\n

Moss said, “Those three minutes I had with what3words made all the difference \u2026 The phone signal is an area of contention. It’s not great there. What3words gives you [is] something you can do offline \u2014 using three words to save your life.”<\/p>\n

What3words works by dividing the globe into a grid of squares, with each square given a unique combination of three words, noted SWNS.\u00a0<\/p>\n
