Animal trainers

[Shadow]

In this footage at 3:05 things start to go in unexpected way. Then it looks like, that these people would have had a chance to get out of there at about 3:25 if making calm retreat to the door. 

I can understand, that this man hoped to get full control again, but it would be nice to hear what do you think, Kathlee111? I understand, that these animals are valuable etc. but is that really worth risking own life in this kind of situation? It is very hard to do everything "right" when there is a real danger like here, but I am interested to hear, that how did you train and prepare to unexpected? Was it told to try to do everything you can to calm down animal or try to make as controlled retreat to the door and out of the cage as possible? Maybe here happened something outside view what couldn´t be seen...

I have myself worked in security (with people) and I have been in many dangerous situations and one thing helping in the real situation is training and being mentally prepared to it, that unexpected things can and DO happen. I guess, that same goes with wild animals, you have to be ready all the time. So when watching this video, I can understand that mistakes happen. It is easy to be smart afterwards, but of course situations like this are good material to learn for others.
