Does This Qualify For Workers’ Comp?

Does This Qualify For Workers' Comp?In Nairobi, a Kenyan farm manager was working overtime during the weekend when a 13-foot python coiled around him and dragged him up a tree. The man stated that he was walking down an overgrown path when he stepped on something spongy lying on the ground and then suddenly he was entangled by the huge snake. Fearing his imminent death by strangulation, the man struggled to break free of the python’s iron grip by biting a chunk out of the its tail and smothering it with his t-shirt. Eventually the man was able to pull his cell phone free from his pocket and call for help. Police quickly arrived on the scene and managed to tie a rope around the python and yank both of them out of the tree. The python was captured and placed into a sack, but escaped on three separate occasions before making a clean getaway.

    And that is why snakes are me most feared creatures of all time.
    Freaky story, glad the man got away.
