What happened to man who allowed snake to eat him alive while recording whole thing

Here is what happened to a man who decided to let a snake eat him alive on camera – and spoiler alert, it wasn't a pleasant situation.

Now for most of us, the chance to be offered up as dinner for a 20ft long snake would likely be meet with a response of 'hell no'. And rightly so.

However Paul Rosolie is no normal man, with the conservationist not only agreeing to this bizarre proposition but even allowing himself to be filmed for a 2014 Discovery Channel documentary Eaten Alive.

So what happened to him?

Hoping to raise awareness about the destruction of Amazon Rainforest habitats, Rosolie tracked the colossal snake through the wilderness before conducting his experiment – a decision which didn't take long for him to regret.

What happened to Paul Rosolie, the man who was eaten alive by a snake?

While Rosolie's decision will be deemed foolish by many, he wasn't reckless in his approach to the stunt and made sure to take the necessary precautions while being eaten.

This included donning a special suit made out of carbon fibre to protect from the snake's venomous fangs and a special oxygen supply which allowed him to breathe normally.

Rosolie was also fitted with a camera and microphone while allowed him to be in communication with his team at all times.

Unfortunately the team weren't able to account for how the snake would react to the Rosolie shaped bait, with the reptile choosing to wrap itself around him first.

You can watch the jaw-dropping moment below:

"I'm getting coils over me," he can be heard telling the team in the clip. "She's got my arms pinned. She knows there's nothing I can do."

The stunt would ultimately last for an hour before it was called off by the team, as Rosolie was concerned the snake would end up breaking his arm.

"[The anaconda got] my arm into a position where her force was fully on my exposed arm... I felt the bone flex," he recalled.

"And when I got to the point where I felt like it was going to snap, I had to tap out."

Which I guess is an occupational hazard when your job involves being eaten by a snake.

Where is Paul Rosolie now?

For a man who once attempted to be eaten by a snake, Rosolie is certainly doing well. He has continues with his conservation work to save the Amazon and regularly shares updates on social media, with a recent Instagram post detailing the perils of working in parts of the rainforest which have been damaged by wildfires.
