Hes in that shock faze about being in a traumatic experience and losing a limb.His shock will ease,then the reality will set in that his life is changed.Happened to me.I was in a wheelchair because of a viral infection.I was in the hospital and I was always confused about my condition. Luckily,I recovered.
Word on the street is, that gator was a homophob
Sounds like a black out drunk mistake. Hope he stops drinking.
Average day in Florida
Legend
This is Captain Hook’s origin story
Man….😢
Doesn't serve food at the bar? So it's just running illegally and you just narced. You did it to yourself, should've just went to the bathroom like everyone else specially since you live in Florida with those things in the water everywhere.
Hope he jacked with the other hand. 👍
Sounds like a lawsuit
He should be in THE HANGOVER
Woke up in the hospital my butt! I saw the uncut vid, hes wide awake and incredibly drunk
Moral Lesson, don't drink and pee outside when in Florida!😂
They truly need to lower the population of those Florida alligators. They have no natural predictors except an alligator might eat other alligator babies and that is not the norm. Female alligators lay up to 50 eggs twice a year, so imagine if just 20% of female lay yearly. This is nuts.
Florida
Its a swamp you gotta be more cautious! Was he drunk! I'm confused? This is so terrible! Awful story! I wish him well and a long healthy recovery!
I saw the actual video he does seem pretty conscious in it but it might have just been the adrenaline there was multiple people recording him as people were pulling him out of the pond
I gotta hand it to him, he’s handling this like a champ.
Bless him 🙏
It’s crazy to think how something so big has such a little impact on this guy it’s amazing.
He’s a better man than me cause that experience certainly would’ve traumatized me for an eternity.
There's so many nuts down in Florida
It seems there must be some disease
Something put in their water perhaps
That brings forth tales like these
Florida man ever 🫡
My guy was faded af lol
I had a Aligator in a zoo that thought I was lunch as it swam over. Only a flimsy fence was stopping it and it could of jumped over. It was scary how it was looking at me waiting to pounce. I got out of there that was a hairy moment
bro feel no pain
Could he have possibly tripped over an alligator?
Yelp , he was trying to feed the Alligator. Alligator swam up – insteed of grabbing food from hand , Alligator grabbed his arm . Geez dont trust a Alligator.
Never pee in a gators pond. Hes luck it was his arm because it will grow back but the other one won't. He would have to go full transition after that mabey become mr ms univers or woman of the year haha . Moral of the story just use the sink like normal guys do😂
Maybe he should stop drinking?????? FLA is full of idiots. He is happy and dumb. Bless his heart. LOL.
i saw the video and no i dont believe he's telling the complete truth
He was def messing w / feeding gators lol. Story stinks
Go find that alligator and eat him
