  "I felt a gator's mouth clamping down on my head. So, with all my strength, I reached up and I pried the gator's mouth off my head," said David Bostwick while resting at his home Monday evening. "It's the kind of thing you think can never happen to you."

  I'll bet the ole adrenaline was pumping here--wow

  Wow is that lucky. Gator chomp could easily smash a head into nothing if the gator had so chosen to do so. Thats a pretty badass experience to live through though!

  Probably looked like an hor'deurve on a toothpick with the snorkel.

  In fact, in the past 3 years, there have been 3 alligators caught in Akron Ohio.

  Ouch! I love to snorkel and scuba. Dont mind doing it in saltwater in the ocen where sharks can be present, but I dont think i would do it where gators would be.
