A man who tried to get eaten alive by snake recalls moment he was “inches away” from his “ribcage exploding.”
In a 2014 epsisode of the Discovery Channel’s Eaten Alive Paul Rosolie, a conversationalist, agreed to be consumed by a large snake.
However, within mere minutes, as his head starts to be consumed, Rosolie called to end the stunt.
This month, Rosolie recalled the experience to LADbible — describing it as “terrifying”.
“The last thing I remember was her mouth open wide and everything went black. I went limp and let it constrict,” he said.
“She wrapped around me and I felt my suit cracking and my arms ripping out of their sockets”.
“I came inches away, moments away from having my rib cage explode,” he said.
“It was really all about showing people the power of these snakes with the mission of protecting their habitats,” he said.
The giant snakes are known to be able to constrict jaguars and other animals much larger than humans, indicating their ability to ingest him wouldn’t pose a challenge.
“Every time you exhale, you never get that space back, you never take that breath in again. So you exhale and the snake squeezes, and then when you try to breathe in, there’s nothing. And so I couldn’t even call for help. It was terrifying,” he said.
