Not me. When I worked in Florida there were 3-4 gators that were residents in the slough where we practiced barefooting. After a while you just got used to them and they got used to us, but nothing like this. The rule of thumb with gators is they won't try to eat anything bigger than a basketball unless you get into their nest with baby gators. When I went way up river while breaking in one of the new boat motors I ran into a slough with about 10% of the gators I see in this video. The gators I knew would always just sink when I approached, but a couple of the bigger guys in this unfamiliar slough held their ground when I approached them in a 20' mastercraft outboard ski boat. When I got about 30' from them I started feeling like something very bad was going to happen if I got much closer, so I didn't.
