I remember back in the 70s an episode of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom where Marlin Perkins was wrapped up by a huge python as it tried to drown him. He was barely saved by his sidekick Jim or Stan. I can’t remember which one but Marlon was almost squeezed to death.
I remember that one. That was the closest anyone came to death. I think Jim got injured messing with a rhino though. But the snake scene even the photographers had to pitch in as I recall.
I remember Marlin and the python-my dad made us turn the channel because my sister started shrieking. LOL
