According to the woman, she fully complied with all the instructions of the trainer and at first everything went well well, a few beautiful photos for memory and one big piece, which a woman is also unlikely to forget. Yet not every day you elephants hands bite.
According to her, she did not even understand at what point her hand was in the elephant's mouth, only heard the crunch of a breaking bone.
X-ray of a hand.
The park administration offered ice to the victim, but when the pain did not go away, the woman was urgently taken to the hospital, where they made x-rays, found out that the elephant made a very serious bite - the bones were broken.
The park management promised to cover half of her medical bills of $10,000 but paid only $4,800 United States, stopped responding to calls and emails.
