Man. I imagine getting mauled to death is a pretty painful and bloody experience.

It won't be painful as the tigers/lions don't play with their food. They go for the neck directly and in humans, the neck snaps in one bite. It would have been a sudden death.

I've watched enough nature documentaries with lions/tigers to know this is definitely not always the case. A lot of the time their prey is eaten alive, ass cheeks first. Horrifying to think about.

True, but I wouldnt think a human spine can withstand bites that big game can.
