Eff that! I think the horse is totally capable of breaking your hand in one bite.

Absolutely. War horses were trained to engage what they could reach when carrying a dude into the fray. A man could shrug off a bite, but anyone who gets kicked or stomped for real is a goner. Canines not required: an animal that big worked up on fear or pussy can really do some damage.
When I was 12, my family used to rent out a couple unused stables in our barn to this guy, a real cow hand looking guy. I came home from school one day as Ambers Lamps was leaving my house. This guy Earl had his buckskin stallion turn on him because a mare in heat walked by his stall. Got a hold of his hand and really messed it up, with the thumb being removed. Almost lost an ear too.
Really put a damper on his attempts to woo my mom as I recall.
That guy in the .gif was a moron just asking for it. He's extending his hand to an advancing horse that has it's ears back. That's like bending over with extended lips to kiss a dog who's got nothing but hackles and enamel for ya.

IronWing, not sure where you're getting that info.. but that's not the case from what I can tell. I have numerous relatives and friends that farm & tons of them still use round bales.
The wrapping is to prevent it from losing nutritional value.
Links to some info:
University of Minnesota Article on Bales
West Virginia University Extension Service on Bale Storage Costs
just my 2 cents

If you're familiar with last year's game "Gone Home" this should be a laugh riot for you:

Yup I've never seen bales wrapped like that... just baller-twin in two or three sections.

Late in the vid, you can watch the road grader running a wrinkle across the whole road several times. Cool stuff.
