epic fail - palling around with alligators

Okay there, buddy. We understand you’re excited about seeing an alligator, but seriously…pay attention! This huge reptile is either very hungry or possesses some serious anger issues. This idiot’s really testing his fate by leaning so far over the water. Maybe he deserves to lose an arm to learn a valuable lesson. Some people just don’t “get it” until something drastic happens to them.

For instance, last summer in Anchorage, Alaska a teenage mountain biker and a jogger were seriously hurt by brown bears in two separate instances on a city park trail that follows along a salmon spawning stream. The bicyclist was attacked and mauled late at night during a 24 hour mountain biking race. How idiotic! Now the city is closing that trail for the summer. I’d rather doubt that will keep everyone from venturing on that trail, but I’d say people got a wakeup call for not following common sense.
