I saw this video while I was on the treadmill at the gym this morning, and my jaw was on the floor. The alligator clamps down on the keeper’s hand and does the death roll. A man, who was there jumps in a saves her. He was interviewed by the news and said (summing it up) that “she’s the real hero” because she was able to calming walk him through how to save her.

What a heroic act, this woman’s story could have ended so differently!
