rooster59 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Handler in hospital as croc makes it snappy! Image: Daily News PHUKET:-- A crocodile handler had to be taken to hospital after a crocodile chomped on the right hand during a show at Phuket Crocodile world yesterday. But a video of the incident shows it could have been worse but for the experience and quick thinking of the trainer himself. He is putting his hand inside the large croc's mouth when the animal unexpectedly slams it shut trapping the man's hand. But as the croc spins its "prey" the handler spins too and the croc is obliged to let go. The show ended abruptly at this point as both foreign and Thai tourists looked on with concern. The handler was taken to Mission Hospital. There was no update as yet on his condition.

honoluludave Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 This has always struck me as something extremely stupid to do. I do not care how many times you practice or train, one day you are going to get bitten. Just like the idiot that sticks his head in the lions mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) This act should be part of every croc show. Edited December 31, 2016 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madusa Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 They should inject the croc with a bit of valium so it will slow down a bit. Why are people watching this show, what's so good or interesting about this show? I am sure everyone watching was wishing the croc will eat the performer, that's what they are expecting. Being human we all want some excitement. They want to tell their friends how the croc did the roll and the arm of the performer came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real....I would have had a Arriflex 435 shooting away...LOL Anyone that sticks their hand in a predators mouth needs their head examined or simply deserves what happens....

farcanell Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 They should inject the croc with a bit of Coke... make it all twitchy like... then you would have a performance.... and maybe body body parts being torn off to amuse the masses that attend these exhibitions of cruelty.

bangon04 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) obviously the handlers practise that spinning move until it becomes second nature to them and the croc.... That's entertainment - what people come to see. Edited January 1, 2017 by bangon04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
