Another Reason To Love El Paso – Few Random near Death Experiences [VIDEO]

'Ya gotta love the critters around the desert southwest. Except for the occasional rattlesnake and a couple of spiders, nothing around here wants to kill us.

Actually, even the snakes and the spiders aren't really too bad. I mean, they're shy and reclusive. They won't mess with you unless you step on 'em or stick your hand somewhere without looking first. Hell, as far as deadly creatures go, ours are fairly considerate.

In other parts of the country though, nature lies around just waiting to take you out. Take this guy for example. Simple little fishing trip with his daughter damn near costs him a hand. (I bet it did cost him a pair of underwear.) Yeah, you won't see this happening at Hideaway Lake or Rainbow Lake! Heads up though, there's a goose at Rainbow Lake that's not very friendly.
