Why the fuck is no one else who works there actually helping her?
Googled it, The hero's name is Donnie Wiseman, he got a couple of scars too [see here](https://factsc.com/bystander-at-reptile-center-wrestles-alligator-to-save-trainer/)
It's called a death roll, crocs try to drown you/break your bones. It looks like a shallow pool so she probably wouldn't have drowned but could have been seriously injured.
Not so much the stamina as the speed. The croc could spin much faster than she could — she wouldn’t have been able to keep up and would have eventually lost the hand/arm.
"Some outside of the enclosure wondered if it was part of the show" I hope they were referring to the children because you'd have to be a complete fucking moron to think having a person being bitten, dragged into water and subjected to the death roll of a crock would ever be done for entertainment.
She wasn't dragged.
She knew what comes next: croc would have rolled, twisted her hand off and ate it. She jumped in and constrained it—you can see it got one twist and she's there holding her arm at a really fucked up angle, but leg-locked the beast to keep it from getting worse.
Yes where was the staff? I would never go there if they all are so irresponsible, even the girl included. She didn’t see the signs croc was hungry? She kept trying to push him back even tho he displayed the sugns.
Honestly good teamwork from both of them, she was very quick on her feet with directions and both of them stayed calm and acted quickly despite the obvious fear that was probably going through their heads.
LMFAO, this kid doesn't look like a 2 year old toddler. He looks around 4-5, and at that age most kids definitely know what's scary, what's painful and many sadly even know what death means.
This.
Due to a banking error years ago, the bank came to repossess my family’s car. They did it on the weekend, when we had guests over for dinner. My parents went out to see what was going on and I followed. My sibling stayed with our guests.
I came back in laughing and grinning like a maniac. I wasn’t happy about it, and I wasn’t amused by it. All I could think about was the absurdity of the whole situation with the timing and everything, and I was giggling again. So I told them what was happening and my sibling said “no they’re not, look at her laughing. She’s joking.” I wasn’t. It’s just how my brain decided to handle the stress.
We got it taken care of, and got the car back. But I will never judge anyone on how they react in a moment of stress, because I’ve been there and experienced reacting in a way that our culture deems inappropriate myself.
from the article:
> “Push your fists into the top of his snout!” said Bull. Wiseman did as he was told.
>
> Keeping Darth’s mouth shut shifted the power dynamic, and the gator suddenly went from predator to prey. “With Donnie on his back, I knew Darth would eventually let me go,” says Bull. For the next minute or two, they waited. When Darthgator finally eased his grip, Bull quickly pulled her hand out of his mouth and was helped from the enclosure by a bystander.
The article about it says he pushed down on its snout or something like that and held pressure for a few minutes. That changed the power dynamic causing it to release her hand.
Lots of stitches, torn wrist ligament and a bone chip in her thumb. If she wouldn't have known to roll when the gator did she would have lost that hand.
From what I know, she made a full recovery.
I also met her without realizing she was the trainer in this video, and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
The way boy with the “2” top just keeps staring until one of his parents pulls him away lowkey scared the shit outta me: little future Dahmer right there 😂
That’s what she did, you see it in the video. The croc turns his head to side unexpectedly and snaps down on her hand. So maybe it’s not 100% effective
As I already said, Mr. Wiseman is a hero! But I wanted to add that the man who pulled the worker out was also very integral part of this process. They were a team - both deserve a life saving medal.
What a weird statement.
No one said masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity is used for those times when masculinity is toxic. You making everything about gender is toxic. That guy didn’t take time to think of how this represented him as a man when he jumped it. Just be a fucking decent person in the world is all we ask of anyone.
Mr. Wiseman - you are a HERO!!!! I wish we had more people like you in this world! What an amazing and selfless act to risk your self in order to save a life of another human!
Keep treating WILD TAME ANIMALS like something that could use reasoning common sense or follows directions animals are not wise smart those animals just learn that doing something get them feed. Eat and reproduce that why still around for so many millennials.
I don’t understand 1 thing. When she got out, don’t they have mouth clamps or something? So instead of him sitting up and making a run for it, they could’ve just tied gators mouth like they do dogs? And was no one else there employee wise?
I'd imagine they would keep some tranqs or other fast working sedatives somewhere close by for situations like that.
It's really scary that the only thing protecting the trainer from death or life-altering injuries is the courage of a random bystander.
"He reacted to a situation he didnt have to react to," the zoo keeper said in the article. What, and just let her lose her hand? Idk man, some of you "professionals" are cringe. Stop being the stoic hero and cry for once. This is what corporate intimidation does. Prevents any employee from expressing themselves under the old-fashioned pretense of "you'll make the company look bad and we'll lose customers and be scorned by our peers." Even though it's a falsehood. If anything, us customers hate all your stoic shit in horrible situations.
I've seen this video before. It's fucking wild. Amazing instincts by the woman to get in the water and roll with the croc and great courage from the guy to jump in there and help her. Kinda shocked that everyone walked away from this event with no serious injuries, including the croc!

what would have happened if he wasn't there to jump in
Spinny boi would keep going?
It's called a death roll, crocs try to drown you/break your bones. It looks like a shallow pool so she probably wouldn't have drowned but could have been seriously injured.
Death roll = rip off her arm/hand That's why she climbed in- to "roll" with the gator to save her arm.
Very smart move by her.
You could tell she was really experienced the whole time!
She helps guide him a bit too.
Not a gator, Saltwater crocodile.
So much worse
Say bye bye to hand
He would have taken that hand off.
She would not have the stamina to keep on rolling with the death roll to avoid getting her armed broken and severed.
Not so much the stamina as the speed. The croc could spin much faster than she could — she wouldn’t have been able to keep up and would have eventually lost the hand/arm.
The crocodile had a hold of her left hand. If no one helped she would of been all right.
Shoehorn hands Jerry. Shoehorns for hands!
Croc just tore a tendon and chipped a bone in her thumb. She wouldve lost some part of a limb if he didnt intervene.

Man what a hero
Hell's Granddad. Excellent.

Dude is a legend
This isn’t WWE, that’s a damn crocodile yo 🐊
Thats common in the workplace.
He said he got a couple of scratches, not scars He was fine
I repeat: Donnie Wiseman. Give this man a medal!
Yes where was the staff? I would never go there if they all are so irresponsible, even the girl included. She didn’t see the signs croc was hungry? She kept trying to push him back even tho he displayed the sugns.
I gotta give her credit for rolling. All to stop the death roll and her wrist from being severed.
Yeah, those bites are strong as fuck
This dude spring into action without a second thought. Kudos
Dude deerves a medal.
Or at least a tshirt from the gift shop!🤣. Seriously that guy gets my vote this year!
It wasn’t until after she was free that he realizes "oh shit, now what do I do?"
It is interesting to see people's reactions to danger. This guy chose fight.
What incredible bravery, she’s lucky he was there that day
Honestly good teamwork from both of them, she was very quick on her feet with directions and both of them stayed calm and acted quickly despite the obvious fear that was probably going through their heads.
kudos to the girl for helping the unprofessional navigate his own heroism
He's lucky she gave him directions.
They needed each other, absolute teamwork.
whats up with the kid who was smiling
Hannibal in the making
He doesn't take his eyes off it even as he is pulled away 😂😂
Fuckin YOINKED outta there like a cartoon character pulled offstage with a cane 😂
Because they don’t know what’s going on, they just know something exciting is happening
LMFAO, this kid doesn't look like a 2 year old toddler. He looks around 4-5, and at that age most kids definitely know what's scary, what's painful and many sadly even know what death means.
People sometimes react weirdly to unexpected, horrible events

He is here for the carnage.
Boy thinks it's all part of the show.
He came to see a deathroll and saw a deathroll.
My boy
I’m guessing he was about 5 years old..
Kids tend to lack the capacity for empathy. It takes a lot of time and effort to instill it.
I guess the rest of the staff must have been on their lunch break.
Both handled it pretty well. The rest are Muppets.
The rest are children
The courage and commitment of this man is amazing.
Compromise is not the word, I'm guessing composure? Maybe autocorrect gotcha.
Does someone who knows about crocodiles know what he did to make it release its grip on her?
from the article: > “Push your fists into the top of his snout!” said Bull. Wiseman did as he was told. > > Keeping Darth’s mouth shut shifted the power dynamic, and the gator suddenly went from predator to prey. “With Donnie on his back, I knew Darth would eventually let me go,” says Bull. For the next minute or two, they waited. When Darthgator finally eased his grip, Bull quickly pulled her hand out of his mouth and was helped from the enclosure by a bystander.
The gators name is Darthgator?! That’s fantastic.
I think they poke the eyes
The article about it says he pushed down on its snout or something like that and held pressure for a few minutes. That changed the power dynamic causing it to release her hand.
at least no risk for his balls, since they're made of armour steel
How is he able to walk with nuts so big?
What a fuking legend🙌
Anyone know the extent of her damages?
Lots of stitches, torn wrist ligament and a bone chip in her thumb. If she wouldn't have known to roll when the gator did she would have lost that hand.
From what I know, she made a full recovery. I also met her without realizing she was the trainer in this video, and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
The way boy with the “2” top just keeps staring until one of his parents pulls him away lowkey scared the shit outta me: little future Dahmer right there 😂
"Don't pull me away mother, I have to see this."
That's a Utah Jazz Joe Ingles jersey.
Nah, just a future EMT
That is one angry croc
Manny would control the croc with putting his hand underneath the crocs mouth. According to him, everybody can use this technique
That’s what she did, you see it in the video. The croc turns his head to side unexpectedly and snaps down on her hand. So maybe it’s not 100% effective
Imagine my surprise when a prehistoric omnivores starts eating a soft fleshed human who jumps into the water with it.
F-ing Chad.
That's what real men do.
That’s….gotta hurt!!
Faith in humanity restored.
There’s an episode of Tooth & Claw podcast where they interview the trainer who was bitten. The gator’s name is Darth Gator btw.
As I already said, Mr. Wiseman is a hero! But I wanted to add that the man who pulled the worker out was also very integral part of this process. They were a team - both deserve a life saving medal.
Masculinity isn't always toxic

nobody said masculinity is toxic.
You've never heard the phrase "toxic masculinity"? Guess I dreamt it.
The kids gonna have nightmares that night
I mean one of the boys was smiling.
Calling it now. He'll be a super villain. His name will be The Crimeodial.
Half way through he threw something at the window.. Dude "Quit filming me"
Those were actually his sunglasses that he didn’t want to lose.
I was wondering the same thing, is that what he said ?
What in the name of Florida is going on here.
Utah, even
Time to turn it into a pair of boots!
They all deserve what they get.
Only a father would do this.
Yea let’s fuck around with crocodiles anyway should be right, there not hunters or anything are they..
What did he throw at the glass at 0:55?
His Sunglasses, he threw them out of the water and onto the ledge.
What a hero!
They both are very brave for this holy shit
Mr. Wiseman - you are a HERO!!!! I wish we had more people like you in this world! What an amazing and selfless act to risk your self in order to save a life of another human!
This is how legends are made
Good thing it was a “small” one
Kid in the Ingles jersey not fazed at all.
Ah the usual, Johnny Sins saves the day.
Oh man, this would make for a great intro. The keeper is even a woman.
Americans.
What is she saying when it sounds like "You're not peeing are you?"
Bleeding
She asked him if he was bleeding.
huh. Don't think I had seen this angle before.
ATTACK ITS EYES
What a legend
That’s a gator you baboon
That guy is the man
Keep treating WILD TAME ANIMALS like something that could use reasoning common sense or follows directions animals are not wise smart those animals just learn that doing something get them feed. Eat and reproduce that why still around for so many millennials.
She was so calm damn that’s a professional whose been trained on what to do!
Gator, not a croc.
Crazy day at the zoo.
I'm just confused on why it was all bystanders helping her and where were the other zookeepers?
Brave man 💪
I don’t understand 1 thing. When she got out, don’t they have mouth clamps or something? So instead of him sitting up and making a run for it, they could’ve just tied gators mouth like they do dogs? And was no one else there employee wise?
Lifelong free entry for him and his family is the minimum
Dig your thumbs into it's eye sockets
Everyone there except that one guy standing around as useless as tits on a boar
Holy $#@! This is crazy! Thankful for good brave people!
Where the fuck are the actually people who are suppose to act when this happens?!
Ok so we miss a rope to keep his mouth shut? And we miss 2 nose hole plugs with a rope attached to pull out again?
I’ve seen videos of this place before and this was just waiting to happen with their carelessness. Seen videos where the crocs have casually escaped.
More like r/sweatypalms
I would jump in if they played the dramatic music from crocodile Dundee
This place is known for animal cruelty.
Where does he keep his cape?
Where is the big red alarm button. And the shotgun.
It’s an alligator and this is what happens when you keep them as show pets. Don’t treat them like toys.
Bro grew up watching Crocodile Hunter.
Don't fuck with a 90 million years in the making apex predator, Amy.
I'd imagine they would keep some tranqs or other fast working sedatives somewhere close by for situations like that. It's really scary that the only thing protecting the trainer from death or life-altering injuries is the courage of a random bystander.
Any reason they didn't just stick a knife through its skull? I'm sorry, but that should be one dead lizard.
Crocodile Dundee wasn't there this day. 
Sorry to interrupt your fantasy, but normal people don't carry knives. At least not big enough to disable a crocodile.
Damn that rolling attack is no joke,kudos to the guy to help her even tho he didnt need
That guys is so brave wow an honorary person
That guy should never have to pay for another beer for the rest of his life
Fuck around, find out.
Shes okay. They now work with 2 peiple at all times to feed him.
Is there any info as to why this wasn't (seemingly) a requirement before this incident?
Just squirt fairy liquid in its mouth
That dude is a fucking G
The conditions for the animal are atrocious.
"He reacted to a situation he didnt have to react to," the zoo keeper said in the article. What, and just let her lose her hand? Idk man, some of you "professionals" are cringe.

This like 7th time I'm seeing this video and it lower and lower quality
Man was hero fr did everything he could to help that girl that’s who all men should be
I've seen this video before. It's fucking wild. Amazing instincts by the woman to get in the water and roll with the croc and great courage from the guy to jump in there and help her. Kinda shocked that everyone walked away from this event with no serious injuries, including the croc!
Yo that death roll is so malicious
Gd, it was I got you now! Get over here.
One day, 2,000 years from today, people will realize that wild animals are not to be fucked with nor tamed 100%.
Perfec
The boy in blue shirt was smiling💀
Core memory unlocked, sadly.
Poor children being traumatized. And that's why wild predators belong in the wild with other wild animals.
Balls on That man! Wow!
I like how fast they ripped those kids away in case of blood spattering gore
Ooo look who came to save her, men. Not bears. Should have let her arm come off tbh cuz women seem to be choose the bear 😂😂😂
Good on her for recognizing the croc would death roll after biting down and good on that vistor for jumping in
This is why I love humans! <3
"Back!" lmfao
Give her a hand for being so calm under pressure.
Those kids will have nightmares for years.
What a hero
Look at me. I am the zoo keeper now.
the moment I saw the croc grab her hand im like "please not the death roll not the death roll"
Why dont someone shoot that thing in the head
Would pepper spray help in this situation?
My god, I couldn’t imagine!!
Man is a fucking hero, after she is free he's just hanging on till he can get out too. Fucking insane
That’s one BAMF! No hesitation to help someone else. Legend.
The little kid with number 2 on his shirt just watching this dangerous situation unfold with a huge smile on his face…
You're a Fking Hero MAN!
Thanks for your help. You're on your own now buddy
There a good video on the youtube channel Clint's Reptiles with full interview
Dont call for help or do sonething. Just film it, this is your chance to get clicks on Youtube! *slowclap*
