Watch the terrifying moment Koh Samui zookeeper's stunt with a crocodile goes horribly wrong

 

croc-samui.jpeg

 

This is the terrifying moment a Thai zookeeper trying to entertain tourists on Koh Samui is nearly decapitated by a crocodile.

 

The horrific incident, which took place earlier this week was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube.

 

The footage begins with the man teasing the croc with a stick before putting his head inside the croc’s enormous gaping mouth.

 

However, after about 10 seconds the croc decides it has better things to do snaps his mouth down onto the man’s head before thrashing him from side to side.

 

Tourists can be heard gasping in horror while the injured man cries out in pain after being freed by the crocodile.

 

It’s not known the extent of the man’s injuries.

 555 serves him right, the idiot    :bah:

Clearly, no one told this idiot, that sticking your head in a crocodiles mouth, could be considered dangerous. He is incredibly lucky the croc didn't take him into the water and drown him.

Ten out of ten for the desire to entertain.

 

Minus several million for brains.

 

The judges have spoken!

Don't worry they'll both be back on tonight ?

Not sure. I am afraid serious cervical spine injury

As the old saying goes, when your thrown off the horse, best thing to do is get straight back on.....lol

Have mercy with him. He needs a job. May be no other qualifications. And there are many ways to end up with a particular task. May be he was just taking care of the crocs and watched another artist doing what he did. Looked safe for a long time and he lost the feeling of danger. Got a good income (hopefully) not available in other ways.

Not saying it was this way. But I wouldn't judge him

One croc on its way to the handbag factory i think...

It is a sad fact that millions of impoverished people risk their lives to eke out a living.?

Some time ago one of the stunts involved the 'keeper' putting his male organ into the croc's mouth and then hitting it over the head with a baseball bat. He would then stand and challenge the crowd:

 

 'Would anyone in the audience like to try that'?

 

Usually there were no takers but one day a toothless old lady shouted back:

 

'Yes I'd like to try it but please don't hit me with the stick'

Who the croc or the trainer???

 

If you're going to tease an animal, better to do so with one that can't literally bite your head off.

Number 1 Darwin Award for the year !

I think it is below Darwin's dignity. It is the "Somchai award" only Thai nationals can enter.....

The croc wasn't druged up enough.:clap2:

I would feel I got my money's worth if I went to see that show.

 

People who are cruel to animals and treat them like that deserve what they get.

 

All these show things would be banned in more progressive counties.  Animals should be treated with respect.. not tormented day in day out and kept locked up for our sick pleasure.

After this stupid cat and scorpion outrage some official was quoted saying: Thailand has strict animal protection laws. While soi cats  and dogs are protected they let elephants dive, harass crocs, tigers, monkeys, and snakes in stunts to fork in the tourist dollars.

Wow, you cannot dance on stage in a "slightly" sexy manor if you are a teenage pop star as it is a bad influence. However, parents and children can be subjected to horrific live scenes like a crocodile nearly killing a grown man!

Very lucky the croc has lost its wild instinct or would have done the death roll & then a gonna

The same show is held at the croc farm in Pattaya several times a day for many years now. I always thought the routine with the stick was more to "mesmorise' the croc, rather than teasing him. 

well a good day was had by all, not the zoo keeper of course, the zoo keepers day was different, he'll be back to doing cobras

First time I saw a croc biting without doing the death roll, lucky lunatic.
