While doing that, the reptile suddenly grabbed her hand and began pulling her into the tank. Thankfully, Theresa’s husband , Donnie Wiseman, was there and quickly sprung into action. He jumped right into the tank to wrestle the instructor’s hand away from the alligator’s jaws and with the assistance of another guest, the handler was able to free her hand.
The Facebook post explains that the handler was provided medical assistance by another guest who had a nursing background. Once emergency services arrived, the handler was taken to the hospital. She is expected to make a full recovery.
