That incident of the man's hand being bitten off in FL is exactly why I was so upset when the girl said "people told us it's mechanical". BTW, there were no adults with them along the whole boardwalk, or I'd have spoken to them about it. Northerners or city folks visiting really don't realize sometimes what wildlife will do.
