PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona man who fell to the bottom of an old abandoned gold mine shaft, broke both his legs, fought off a trio of rattlesnakes and went two days without food or water before a friend heard his cries for help is lucky to be alive, said the head of a rescue team.
quote:
Fifteen members of the posse overseen by the office’s Search and Rescue Team rushed with specialized equipment to the property.
One rescuer rappelled into the shaft and assessed Waddell’s injuries, determining that he had possible ankle and leg fractures as well as friction burns to his hands. He was alert, but dehydrated and was given IV fluids.
Yesen said it took about three hours to lift Waddell the 100 feet (31 meters) to safety.

One never has to “fight off snakes” because snakes don’t attack people.
Unless he fell directly on top of the snakes, the snakes were no threat.

Snake skin may be more valuable than gold these days.

I’ve had a water moccasin swim across a bayou, up the motor and into the boat.

Had one bite my boot (thankfully snake boots) while I was fishing when I was 15 or so. I thought it was a turtle head sticking up by my foot as we'd been seeing them all day. He got the 410

Have you ever seen snakes on a plane? They had to fight all of those snakes off.

There's only one rattlesnake I'm afraid of:

Yep. I’ve seen it myself and have heard too many stories about cottonmouths going out of their way to confront people.

Kind of bizarre, especially in light of this morning’s tweet about uplisting being right around the corner. I think it may be manipulation by the market makers. I see it as a gift - transferred more money to my account this evening. Hoping to be able to grab some 4s on Monday to get me up to 175K.

I’ll never forget a canoe trip I went on down Blackwater River in the Florida panhandle. We put in at Kennedy Bridge and within 10 minutes I had seen 5 water moccasins! 2 came right off logs straight towards our canoe, we had to slap paddles at them to keep em away. Freaking nightmare. We did 30 miles on that river in 4 days/nights. Love that river but that was an insane start.

Had a cat who would play with them awhile before he killed them.

Get too close to a nest and see how quickly you regret those words.
