Florida teen in grip of savage alligator gave up his arm to save his own life and joked about it later

Trapped in the vise-like jaws of an alligator, a Florida teenager faced a stark choice — give up his life, or give up his arm. Kaleb Langdale chose to live. “He knew he was losing (his arm),” his sister, Rebecca Langdale, said. “If it would have grabbed his body ... he would have drowned.” “So he just took his feet, buried his feet in the alligator’s head and just pushed so that he could get it free.” “Once it popped loose,” Langdale swam to the dock where his pals pulled him ashore and tended to him before paramedics arrived, she said.
