Kayaker Attacked By Alligator

While kayaking in Florida, the rear end of my kayak was struck by an alligator. Surprised to say the least, I almost ended up in the water. I was having a difficult enough time just managing the chop on the water, without having the back end of my kayak struck. I was paddling a flatwater racing kayak. But I survived to tell the story.

I can't even tell when you were hit

Wow I never would've thought there were gators in Florida

[joewebb]

I guess if you bump into a log with that specialized kayak that be an attack too?

Third to vid appearing in google search that is sensationalism and misrepresented.

How unsafe is it to paddle in bodies of water that have gator populations?

[karensusee]

I could barley even see it hit or you looking like you had any remote trouble controlling the kayak but then again I was not there an imagine it was as said but from the video it don't look any thing remotely as you describe

[zadeh]

why the hell would you kayak in alligator infested waters?

[bozidartrajkovski]

why would anyone go kayaking in a water with gators :S

[kaidosbuddyagaindoberman]

Poor Floridians, if they aren’t kayaking and being chased by a gator in the Fresh water, they got damn sharks doing so in the ocean. I’ll stick to large vessels.

You must be some kind of wuss if you got upset over that little gator bump

[thealbinoshadow]

Why do you use so many question marks??

[soundsofstardom]

where exactly were you? sea wall looks like intercostal?

[benjohnson]

Right at :53 seconds? That's crazy!

[JohnnyAnderson]

Wow, close call! That could have ended very very very very badly for you and your mother would not be happy.
