Australian Man Attacked While on African Safari

Australian dude, Brendan Smith was attacked by a lion just 36 hours after arriving in South Africa. Brendan was riding in a rental car and had the windows down too far when a  young lion jumped into the car and went to munching on his legs. Brendan fought the lion off and it jumped back out of the car. Brendan was rushed to Fourways Life Hospital where he received excellent treatment and is definitely on the mend. Brendan posted pics of his injuries on his Facebook page. Yuck, he had several deep lacerations and you could see the many different layers of the human body like the fatty tissue, muscle tissue and fascia. Brendan is very lucky to be alive, if the lion had went for his head, I think this would a much more tragic story. If I ever go on a Safari in Africa, I will keep the windows all the way up and the A/C on and I will make sure the doors are locked. There was a note about a family who also went on Safari and didn't lock the car doors and they had video of a lion opening the car door with its mouth. The driver speed up and the rear passenger quickly closed and LOCKED the door. hahahaha So scary!!!
