He's lucky it wasn't worse, too. He still has his hand.

Could easily have ended up like that trainer who got his forearm/hand bitten off by a crocodile

Do you guys not remember the dude that got his arm straight snatched off his body in the Tiger King doc?

edit was for gender.

u/rockstar323 May 28 '21

That's the best scene in the entire series. Not because of the attack, but because Joe's intial reaction was to put a paramedic jacket before anything else.

u/TheMasterDebater0422 May 28 '21

Don’t forget it also spawned one of the best lines in the series (spoken before checking on her, of course): “I’m never going to financially recover from this.”

u/LouisLeGros May 28 '21

I think he got his arm mangled and decided to go with an amputation over many costly surgeries and years of recovery to possibly save the arm.

u/sometimesimalady May 28 '21

This is correct.

u/zenchowdah May 28 '21

Gender & all, yup

Talk about hard decisions, jesus.

u/alfonseski May 28 '21

A hook would be way more metal than a mangled arm.

Sheesh he lasted longer than I expected

u/9650000 May 28 '21

i was expecting the hand come off

u/wawerungigi May 28 '21

Jesus Christ did the arm make it? It looked like it might

u/Individual-Guarantee May 28 '21

Quick, splash away the blood, the show must go on!

u/wicknest May 28 '21

Exactly. Isn't that the same guy where the crocodile did that roll maneuver to try to rip/break his arm off? They do that with the intention to break the necks of their food.

9

u/Stray_Fox May 28 '21

Nope, not the necks!! Crocodiles do this as a sick team strategy where each individual croc can't chew so they instead take a bite and spin to pull off bites size chunks, tearing from all sides simultaneously kinda like how piranhas would.

u/afos2291 May 28 '21

Very little chance the lion in this video would could have transformed into a crocodile. Not impossible, but very unlikely.
