YouTube video shows man test bear trap with his fist
This is the moment that a man tests a bear trap…with his bare hands.
Youtube user BrandosonR shared the video and wrote: 'My uncle punches a bear trap and pulls his hand out before it closes on him. Don't try this at home!'
His uncle first takes a plank of wood and looks as if he is about to test the large metal bear trap with it.
But he suddenly throws the wood away, and instead draws his bare hand in preparation to punch the trap.
The unseen crowd behind the camera shout at him to desist, screaming ‘stop’ in unison.
But the man is adamant that he will conquer this grisly metal trap.
His hand hovers over it until it suddenly plunges down and the trap clamps shut, missing his hands by centimetres.
Conversation on Youtube was lively after the video was shared there, with many people praising the man’s bravery.
