Guard rail? they climb over that- did you not see the latest alligator roaming the golf course in Bradenton FL - he was good 20 ft long- Google alligators in Fl - under images Alligators kill, eat and bite-- lately they have been growing huge-- probably all that grass fertilizer
My favorite alligator-on-golf-course story happened last year in Australia.
There was some major flooding in Brisbane which included a golf course. As the water receded, smaller 'ponds' remained with stranded alligators.
Ok yet it's inconceivable to you that some bad guys fed a guy to a gator? Accidental or on purpose a guy got eaten. If I lived in Florida I would
1. Not go near any muddy standing water or swim in it.
2. Before I jumped in my pool I would look and see if something big with teeth was in it first.
Maybe the answer is to watch wtf you're going near a lake or swamp if it's accidental. People die all the time because they are stupid
1. It's FL. Muddy standing water is virtually everywhere, as are freshwater lakes and streams. And I mean EVERYWHERE. One just has to be vigilant here. Be aware that these things do exist, as do countless other dangerous animals.

Talk about a water hazard!
[SIZE=+2]The Purist [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]by Ogden Nash [/SIZE] I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."
I am sorry for the poor person- who dies, I do not know the circumstances- but I'm sure had a family. Mostly tourist get bit, they just do not know.
