    Thats animal abuse, he would not get away with that if it wasn't in a 3rd world country. I have a snake and crap like that is what makes people fear them. Like think about it a snake kills it's prey before eating it, now he is going down live so will be moving around in it's body and it's stomach is not designed for that. It would be like us swallowing a live chicken whole and then the chicken wriggling around as it is going down and not only that but also coming out your ass still whole and alive. Snakes normally only **** out a ball of feathers/hair and skeleton (all the rest gets digested) Just imagine how it would feel for the snake to have to **** out a whole human

    Worked with a guy who specialised in studying snakes, he was pretty skeptical of this and worried about the negative affect on the anaconda.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I can't see how they can do this without killing the snake? :(

    I can't imagine it having any positive effect for the snake, it's ****ing sick IMO

    I wonder quite how you go about testing a 'snakeproof' suite and who has that job.

    I'm guessing he'll come back out the way he went in, through the snake's mouth. If not, that'll certainly be 'entertaining' television!

    Won't the anaconda die if this is allowed? Surely it's the only plausible outcome seeing as it will not physically be able to crush the man.

    While I'm loath to wish harm upon any man, even this idiot, I may smile a little if this turns out not to actually be the case.

    from watching the video it looks like he has a tether attached to his ankle, presumably to pull him back out?

    He can't without killing the snake, they have no gag reflex, humans (well all large mammals) tongues do most of our gag but snakes digestive system is a one way street, their teeth point inwards, if he tries to go back the way he came it will pull the snakes head apart no matter how big the snake is. Have you never seen pics on the internet where a snake tries to eat something too big for it and they find a snake busted open with a half digested hippo in it? it's because at a point the food is to big but by then the snake can't do anything about it. if it can't digest the food it is dead. No snake no matter how big it is could handle a human passing whole through it's digestive system

    I don't understand the logic behind this at all. Even if it was happening in my back yard I wouldn't be watching it.

    Hopefully all the outrage will force them to rethink airing this abuse.

    It's disgusting and totally wrong. What kind of mind could come up with this idea.

    Morally questionable, no doubt. Gonna be entertaining though.

    Short news report from India about this phenomenon. Apparently the snake suffered "internal injuries". Hopefully it was able to recover.

    I always thought human shoulders were too wide for the snake to ingest or is that just a myth?

    He is going to go in the snakes mouth with a camera on his head and probably a few on his body too. that snake was in pain, how will one the same size cope with that? And the snake didn't "apparently" suffer internal injuries, it did suffer internal injuries. There is a big difference

    I meant apparently in the sense of according to the report. Stop looking for offense or picking arguments where none is intended.

    Sorry then, I thought you were being deliberately obnoxious and dismissive about how it would affect a snake, my mistake :o

    That's not true at all. Snakes will often regurgitate food that slows them down in order to escape predators.

    If my childhood has taught me anything, if he slides down a snake he'll require a ladder (or two) to get back up right?
