Florida teen Summer Hinote, 15, found herself underwater in Pond Creek, clamped inside a 10-foot alligator’s jaws. Trending search: what’s the best way to fight off an alligator? Local investigators confirm Hinote escaped by punching the gator’s head—twice. “I just started punching it in the head as hard as I could,” she recalled, making this the year’s most unlikely aquatic boxing match. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office credits her quick thinking and her friend’s help for her survival.

After those head punches, the alligator released and recaptured Summer in a sequence now topping ‘Florida alligator attack survivor’ queries. Doctors say her leg, though severely injured, miraculously avoided amputation—a medical twist spiking searches for ‘can you keep your leg after gator bite?’ In a surreal twist, the attack occurred just 25 miles from Destin, where vacationers now imagine a local reptile sporting a black eye and a grudge. “The alligator let go but grabbed her again,” Hinote said, as if describing a villain in a slapstick horror film.

Summer Hinote survived a 10-foot alligator dragging her underwater—her leg intact, her alligator opponent left with a pounding headache and no dinner, just outside Destin, Florida.
