Thai firefighters show how to respond when strangled
Victims of large pythons tightened around their necks can escape death with a simple gesture of putting their hands in front of the trachea and calling for help.
The important move before being strangled is to put the arm in front of the neck to prevent the python from pressing against the windpipe.
Phinyo Pukphinyo, a firefighter in Bangkok, Thailand, instructed how to escape the attack of a large python on April 29. In the video, Phinyo lets the 4.3-meter-long python wrap around his head and squeeze in a natural hunting instinct.
The important move to save Phinyo's life at the risk of suffocation is to put the arm in front of his neck to prevent the python from pressing against the windpipe, leading to almost immediate death . This way Phinyo had time to call for help and two colleagues rushed to pull the python out of the victim.
As a snake catcher, Phinyo catches 2,000 pythons, cobra and green snakes every month at local houses and forest areas in Bangkok. Phinyo had to be hospitalized for three months after being bitten by a cobra, but the accident also caused him to stick with more work and respect snakes.
