Tiger mauls driver who got off bus

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin/Wendy says, "Thanks for the submission.

Another zoo, another lion, hardly a day goes by that you don't bump into someone who's been mauled by a carnivorous zoo animal. We had a man feeding bears beers, bare(1). One guy put a marigold lei on a tiger's neck(2) to celebrate New Years. We've had volunteers stick their arms(3), legs(4), or bodies(5) into a lion's cage. Below we have the irony of a zoo bus driver--climbing out for repairs--but even that has been done before(6). I'm gonna have to call "repeat" on this one! Certainly foolhardy, but already done better."

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

A bus driver for a tiger sanctuary in China decides to get out of his bus to check on the vehicle after his bus gets stuck in snow. Forgetting that the bus is INSIDE a tiger sanctuary with free roaming tigers,
literally
tigers
roaming beside his bus,
what else? he becomes the kitty's toy meal.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
The article states that the driver violated safety rules and that there have been a number of attacks since 2009, so he definitely should have known better. That's more than enough for me. Thanks!
