Indonesian Woman Swallowed Whole By 23-Foot Python

Actually if I remember correctly, they can actually die from trying to eat something too big, think I saw that on some documentary or another.
Condolences to her family and loved ones. I just wonder how something like this can happen. Does the snake get you by surprise?
Snakes are incredibly fast, and once it got wrapped around her it is pretty much game over.
Did the title change? The current title "Indonesian Woman Swallowed Whole By 23-Foot Python" seems pretty accurate and reasonable, although of course it's still awful to hear.
They sneak up and kill much more alert, fast and stronger animals then humans.
Awful way to die.
Yes. A mod changed the title.
Actually surprised a mod didn't close the thread as there isn't much here beyond "shit that sucks."
IT was originally. "Woman goes to check on garden. Snake checkmates."
Thanks. Yup, that's a gross title. What a lack of respect for human life.
Jesus, nature is scary. I've watched these documentaries of large pythons swallowing cattle whole near remote villages, but humans? Damn.
Makes you wonder how big snakes can get or have gotten like has there ever been a 30ft snake on earth.
They don't just swallow you slowly while you're screaming and wailing like in the movies. They swiftly crush you first via engulfing you by constriction then eat you.
Real question: Did the woman die immediately, or was she still alive while being digested? Either way, FUCK.
Dead before. The snake crushed her and in the act she either died from exposure or suffocation.
Constrictors usually squeeze until there's no heartbeat. So, likely dead when swallowed.
It'd have to be a huge fucking knife and you'd have to be very quick, very strong, and very skilled with said knife.
.30-06 is bare minimum what I would recommend
What I want to know is how she got crushed, because that's fucking scary.
Also, why does the snake and body look so small? Was she a petite woman, or is the video not a good way to show how large the actual body was?

Snakes are pretty much the literal embodiment of the phrase "silent, but deadly". It's why "slither" has been used as a verb/adverb to describe stealthy movements since the dawn of the written language.
All a python like that has to do is get ahold of your foot and you're dead.
My best guess is the snake crushed her bones and internal organs to the point it could swallow her with the min effort it could.
So fucked up. How do you even explain this to a family member? "She got eaten by a giant snake."
It just sounds so wrong.
RIP.

RIP.
I've been pretty shocked seeing this, so I read a bit more :
Pythons and Boas etc... don't suffocate their preys. They apply extreme pressure to cut the blood flow within 5 seconds. The prey instantly passes out, then basically dies / gets eaten.
This exact same thing (same race of snake too) swallowed a 25 years old man last year...
Supposedly it's supposed to be one of the rarest thing (like winning the lottery and being struck by lightning the same day). Considering it happened twice in the past year, people say it might because of the destruction of forests that forced snakes to feed off different things.
It's so fucked up...
