In Chile, to get too caught up or carried away with something without thinking it through, jumping in headfirst because of excitement or hype. The person who embalas then has to hit the brakes hard.
“He got embalado buying stuff for the business and now can't sell any of it.”
“Don't get embalado with the idea until everything is confirmed.”
