I actually saw that show, an alligators reaction to snapping their jaw shut comes from touch, So if you touch inside their mouth they automatically slam it shut and won't let go.

It was a hot day and the guy that was chomped had done this hundreds of times before, but as what happens when you work with animals, as he put his head in the mouth of the alligator a bead of sweat dropped of his head on to the alligators mouth or tongue and caused it to slam shut. They tried everything to get its jaw open including breaking huge lumps of timber.

The guy ended up with heaps of stitches in and around his head and a really bruised ego. Just goes to show that you can do this every day and one day you'll get bit. Bit like free handling vens I suppose.....
 
You actually saw the show live daz? When and where?

Nah, wasn't live sam was one of those "when pets go bad" type US tv shows. It showd what happened and then explained how it happened. Showed the before and after shots of the guy and the stitches in his head. Was really interesting but just goes to show you that if you tempt fate it will one day take you by surprise.
