This Guy Dropped His GoPro Camera Into A Snake Pit And The Footage Is Spooky As Hell

by N/A, 10 years ago | 2 min read

Michael DelaneyÂ was exploring the grasslands of Montana when he came across a pit of prairie rattlesnakes. He wanted to use his GoPro to record the encounter, up-close-and-personal. Sounds pretty cool if you're a thrill seeker, but he got a wake up call that he honestly should've seen coming.Â

The snakes were rattledÂ by him getting all up in their personal space, and one of them eventually attacks his camera, which then falls into the pit. They don't take too kindly to it laying in there either.Â

He begins approaching the rattlesnake pit, and you can hear them from so far away...

After he finds it, he realizes there's so many of them...

He approaches this one, and it rattles right in his face, so he backs away...

Then, one of them has had enough and strikes, which makes the camera go tumbling into this terrifying pit...

You can watch what happens to it after that deadly fall right here:

The sound of the hissing is a sound that will haunt you in your sleep for awhile after seeing thisâ€“we're sure. Any adventurers that have seen this should now feel a little less inclined to tempt a pit of snakes with a GoPro, because they obviously don't like that.Â

Delaney was lucky enough to be able to retrieve his, but you might not be so lucky...

Soâ€“long story shortâ€“back to the main point: you've been warned.
