We bring to your attention an interview with a fearless scientist.
— Paul, tell us about the construction of the protective suit. He looks very impressive.
“We needed a very strong structure to protect my body from the suffocating embrace of the anaconda. So we made the suit out of carbon fiber. To test its strength, we tested the suit with... trucks. Or rather, with the help of winches that are installed on them. We pressed on the shell with a force of up to 300 pounds per square inch (about 21 atmospheres, with such force the jaws of a bulldog hold their prey - author), but it remained intact. We said, okay, let's try to break his bones anyway. And they turned on the winch at full power. But we could not crush the suit. So I made sure I was safe. To protect my hands from the teeth of the anaconda, I used very strong shark scales. The bodysuit was coated with a special chemical layer that would protect me from the anaconda's stomach acid in case I ended up in her stomach. And before the experiment, I swallowed a pill that gave the doctors the parameters of my pulse and temperature. Incredibly high technology was used to create the costume.
How were you going to breathe inside the anaconda?
— I was wearing a diving mask built into the helmet. The breathing tube was attached to my body. She went through the back, then the leg and in the heel area was connected to a shock-resistant hose. So I knew the air supply would be all right.
Currently, several million snakes live on Earth. They live on every continent except Antarctica and mostly within most bodies of water on the planet. They all have different levels of aggression, gluttony and hostility towards people.
Although some of these deadly reptiles can kill a human in a matter of seconds, the most agonizing attacks occur when the snakes do not have any venom at all, they kill their prey by suffocation. By digging their sharp, inward-curved teeth into the body of the victim, and then, wriggling and wrapping their massive bodies around them, they undoubtedly achieve a slow and painful death.
Over the decades, countless attacks on humans have been reported from anacondas, pythons to common boas. Many have come face to face with these dangerous reptiles in the jungle, in the cities, and sometimes even in their own homes.
Video. Crazy man among huge pythons.
This is expert Jay Brewer, on the eve of the New Year 2015, he climbed up to three large pythons to share a video about animals that he raised himself. But he also noted that it is indeed unsafe.
Below are ten of the most shocking large snake attacks on people around the world.
1 Canadian boys killed while sleeping
In 2013, in the city of Campbelton, New Brunswick, there was a terrifying attack by a hieroglyphic python or rock python (lat. python sebae). This particular breed of snake can weigh up to 80 kg, reach a length of up to 6 meters, and easily kill its prey by strangulation.
In this tragic case, two little boys were injured, who were definitely at the wrong time and in the wrong place. They stayed overnight at the apartment of a family friend who had a peculiar complex in the form of an exotic pet store in the same apartment.

The report stated that the boys' cause of death was strangulation, and the escaped python was identified as their killer.
On the night of this incident, a large snake was left in an enclosure not too far from where the four- and six-year-old victims slept. It was understandable how the unclosed python escaped from its cage, as there was a gap at the top due to the fact that the owner did not tightly close the snake in the cage.
The python was able to slip up the ventilation system, which soon collapsed under the weight of the reptile. Nothing prevented the Python from getting to the living room, where he stumbled upon two defenseless sleeping boys.

In the end, the reason why the python killed the children was never established, leaving many in bewilderment. Because of this event, many questions and some skepticism have arisen.
A snake expert who owned at least twenty of these snakes in his shop said the incident was highly unusual for this species of pythons, as they tend to be docile and timid. He argued that it was not impossible, but was simply very unexpected and idiosyncratic.
It was one of the most tragic attacks of this breed of snake. The python, who had lived in the complex for almost ten years, was immediately put to death due to this incident.
2 Snake owner charged with murder
Surprisingly, many cases of killings of people big snakes actually take place in their own homes. Snakes that are masters of escape can often be found outside of cages. These reptiles, kept as pets for many years, are usually overlooked by their owners when they are not on the loose.
In Oxford, Florida, the owner of an albino Burmese python was sentenced to jail after his pet escaped his confinement to kill his daughter Shanianna ( Shanianna) in her crib.

On the morning of the incident on July 1, 2009, a python named Gypsy was found tightly wrapped around a two-year-old victim, his mouth beginning to swallow the victim's head.
Although isolated incidents in the past have not resulted in any criminal charges, in this case, the incident involved the 21-year-old owner and mother of Jaren Hare ( Jaren Hare), is different. The 2.5-meter predator escaped from his aquarium with such ease that it once again showed the complete lack of care and concern for his defenseless daughter.
The aquarium where the python was kept was covered with a duvet on top of the cage. To make matters worse, the medical examiner testified that the snake was significantly underweight and malnourished, which may have been the cause of the incident.
Jaren Hare and her partner were found guilty of manslaughter of a child, third-degree murder due to the snake attack.

In the end, five adult men with difficulty freed him from the suffocating embrace, but it remained to free himself from the jaws, which the snake was not going to unclench. El Diablo helped get rid of the teeth of the anaconda.
Although only his forearm was affected by the attack, he quickly recovered and returned to the Amazon basin within two months to resume filming.

By the time Aisnia had at least half of her length wrapped around Debi's arm, the woman began to panic, and her daughter immediately dialed 911.
Help arrived within minutes. Debi began to feel weak and the snake already squeezed the woman's hand very tightly. Rescuers 911 should have been quick enough to try to free Debi's hand from the jaws of the reptile.
They managed to quickly free Debi without Aisnia being killed. Debi signed everything Required documents and her pet was sent to an animal shelter for recovery.

In the summer of 2008, working the night shift alone at the zoo among numerous deadly predators, it is obvious that he did not consider this potentially dangerous. Sooner or later, such carelessness could lead to sad consequences. At least zookeeper Eric Arrieta ( Erick Arrieta) violated the rules of the establishment and entered the cage alone.
A 3-meter Burmese python, which had recently been donated to the Caracas Zoo in Venezuela, caused the sudden death of a 29-year-old student.

The snake was rather new to the new habitat and was not even on public display at the zoo. Eric foolishly violated one of the most important rules behavior at the zoo when he entered the snake's cage, this mistake ended up costing him his life.
Since he was the only one on duty, no one heard his moans or cries for help when the snake attacked him. Only in the morning colleagues found him in a cage. By this time, the python had already suffocated Eric to death and began to consume him. When the snake was actively swallowing the head of the slain Erik, his colleagues intervened and freed his lifeless body.
Although the attack itself was unusual, since Erik was far beyond perfect size to serve as prey for a 3-meter snake, this was not a shock, since Burmese pythons are the most aggressive snakes among the large boas.

Although the snake didn't even begin to ingest it as an alternative meal, unfortunately Grant didn't survive the attack. The paramedics exhaustively tried to resuscitate Williams on the way to the hospital, but, unfortunately, they were unable to do so. Grant was pronounced dead an hour after he was taken to a nearby hospital.

In the end, this was enough to attack and overpower her. During the attack, Diablo wrapped himself around Amanda and began to intensely squeeze her neck, which led to death by suffocation.
The python did not kill her in a predatory manner, as is usually the case during most snake attacks on humans. Diablo did not even try to swallow it after death, but immediately fled the scene of the crime.
