Well,the plan seems to be that he's wearing some kind of protective suit,including oxygen supply.
Then wait until the snake regurgitates him.

One can only wonder how people come up with ideas like that.

I have always maintained that you really need a monster snake to fully swallow a human.

I recon this guy might have his head swallowed and the snake will stop there.

It's sad when supposedly educational channels like Discovery have to resort to stunts like this for ratings.

They should change the channel's name to Discovery Entertainment.

I think he might die. Fair enough, the suit might be able to protect him from the teeth and he will have an oxygen supply, but can the suit protect him from the pressure exerted by the snake squeezing him? If the snake in question is big enough to swallow him is he sure that a snake that size is not powerfull in enough to constrict and kill him through his "snake proof suit"?

Good point!
I think they are trying for the snake to swallow him without being constricted.
Still,its risky business...
Who's gonna feel sorry for him if things go wrong?

I think it's safe to assume things haven't gone wrong because the show is already recorded and trailers available, so the entire experiment is done and dusted.

We would have heard something on the news if it went awry.

You are right!
It is done and both,man and snake,have survived.
I don't think its dusted yet,since a lot of people are raving about it.
