(DailyDig.com) – A guy named Jordan Rivera from Florida accidentally stumbled into a small lake that was located behind a bar. When he awoke later, he discovered that an alligator had ripped off one of his arms.
The horrific injury was captured on camera and shared across several social media platforms, along with footage of onlookers rushing to assist the guy who was in shock. They managed to use a tourniquet, which very certainly resulted in the man’s survival.
According to Rivera’s mother, she refers to the people who were present and helped save his life as angels. It’s a wonder that he’s here considering how unlikely it was for someone to be there with a tourniquet.
According to Rivera, who was 23 years old, all of the bathroom stalls in the facilities of the Port Charlotte Banditos bar were occupied in the early morning of May 22. He said he only saw a small lake and decided to visit it to relieve himself. Either he lost his footing or the earth underneath him collapsed. His next recollection was waking up in a medical facility without the presence of his right arm after entering the water.
He said, “I was like, ‘Whoa,'” describing how perplexed he was when he opened his eyes and found his arm in that condition. His arm seemed to be both there and absent, he remarked.
Rivera maintains an optimistic outlook despite having had a terrible ordeal. He said he was just missing one arm but was still alive. His world will not perish because of this.
Rivera’s tale has fascinated many Floridians, but others have propagated false information, claiming he lost his arm because he was feeding the alligator. He has categorically denied the rumor. He flatly denied the claim, saying it was entirely false. He couldn’t have fed the alligator there since the pub doesn’t provide food.
Officials in Florida said they killed the 10-and-a-half-foot alligator after capturing it.
