The object of the championship is to get ten live rattlesnakes into a sack in the least possible time. The snakes – complete with fangs and venom sacks – are first pinned down with a 2ft hook-ended rod. One person holds the sack while the other tosses the snakes into it without allowing the others to escape or bite him in the process.
Since he started handling in 1969, Jackie Bibby has received eight bites serious enough to put him in hospital. A drug-de-pendency worker, he has also acted in films and on television.
