Gator gets grabby with trainer to the horror of fair audience

Can Albert Lucas sell a performance or what? He's the announcer urging Cuyahoga County Fair-goers to photograph trainer Dan Beck with his hand inside a gator's mouth "hopefully not stuck. But if it is, that's a good picture, too!" Oh, it's a hell of a picture. Just watch as the gator munches on Beck's arm while children scream and moms tell their little ones not to look. Lucas manages to pry the reptile's jaws apart and Beck heads to the hospital without so much as a bow. "Well, folks, these things happen," Lucas says cheerfully. "We'll be back tomorrow." Uh, not so much. Fair officials closed down the show — they'll be sticking to petting zoos, thanks. [Source]
