Tiger kills man who jumps into enclosure in China

[Nagishkaw 510]

A Siberian tiger at a wildlife park near Beijing attacked and killed a man who climbed into its enclosure thinking he found a shortcut down from the Great Wall, a park official said Sunday.

The 20-year-old man, surnamed Guo, had been hiking with two other people on the wall when the group decided to jump down to save time on the descent - unknowingly landing themselves in Badaling Wildlife World's tiger enclosure.

The tiger pounced on Guo, knocking him down and clamping its jaws around his throat, said a wildlife officer who gave only his surname Wang. Guo was killed instantly.

A park ranger who saw the attack chased the tiger in a jeep until it released the body, while the other two men escaped by clambering up a fence and out of the enclosure, Wang said.

Tourists are idiots. We got places here on the Sonoma coast where we get sleeper waves. There are big signs that say, "Danger! Sleeper Waves! Do not Go Past Sign," and the idiots still do, and the county spends tens of thousands of dollars trying to fish out their bloated bodies. Stupid tourists!

Who saw this coming?

Apparently people do that all the time at Beijing Zoo with the Pandas. They jump in thinking they can cuddle them. Doesn't help when the wall separating you from them is only a few feet tall.

I wouldn't say they are idiots. Accidents always leads to safety measures. If a sign now is posted, then nobody would jump would they?
