1. That takes a WHOLE lot of trust!!

I watch the Wild Earth safari drives and have seen a whole lot of what kind of damage lions can do with their teeth and claws.

7. The camera guys, on the safari show, have show some up close view of lions paw/claws

MASSIVE!! We've watched them dispatch huge cape buffalo. They just jump on, sink in those claws and teeth, and ride the buffalo to death. Well, they actually start consuming it, as soon as the buffalo is on the ground.

One day one of the guides left the vehicle to look at some tracks, not realizing there was a pride of lions just down the trail. He did look, first, but they were very well hidden. His reaction was priceless. Skip to the 1:19 mark on the video.

5. What could go wrong?

The sad part is that if the man was killed, the lions would probably be euthanized. Hopefully, I am wrong.

6. Crazy easily describes this guy.

Hope he doesn't pay a steep price for his pride.
