A girlfriend of many moons ago lost her dad to a gator in/near Arcadia, FL. Admittedly, he was doing something stupid: swimming in a canal. It hit him within seconds after he jumped in... he got away and got out, one arm barely attached by a few ligaments.

His 13-yr. old daughter who was with him was pressed into service to drive him to the hospital. The doctors couldn't save the arm and had to amputate, but he died within 24 hrs. when the site of the injury threw a clot and it went to his heart.
