Thanks.
There are some very brave and some very, very strange people in this world!

No.
"The keepers' bravery was praised after they dragged the 32-year-old German mother out of a moat for the animals. They had to shove the animal out of the way after one of four polar bears dived into the water and attacked her, inflicting serious bites to her legs and arms."
She's not the only one looking for a Darwin award at that Zoo though:
"Celebrity polar bear Knut was reportedly in the enclosure when Mandy K entered it, although he wasn't the bear that attacked her.
Another zoo visitor attempted to visit Knut in December; the man was unhurt in the incident and explained that he thought the bear looked "lonely" and wanted to keep him company. The zoo pressed trespassing charges."

If you read the linked news article all is revealed...
"Mr Nyaumbe told the Daily Nation newspaper how he resorted to desperate measures after the python, which had apparently been hunting livestock, encircled his upper body in its coils.
"I stepped on a spongy thing on the ground and suddenly my leg was entangled with the body of a huge python," he said. "
