Yeah, I was convinced he was tagged too when I first saw it. A bit irresponsable to fake something like that.

" Snake Atack" is probably the worse terminology humans have ever created to describe an interaction between a snake and a human.

What I found fascinating is the audience reaction. As a social experiment, this shows that there will not be panic and pandemonium after such an event. More like bored interest.

Had it been a real snake, and had it rushed off the stage into the audience, a quite different social experiment would have been seen, LOL !
Around 1974 I was watching Bill Hasst at the Miami Serpentarium do his weekend show for a large audience, when a very large black mamba got away from him and made it into the first 3 rows of the audience before Bill got the snake back under control.
The audience reaction was quite interesting, they kind of cleared a isle that the snake went down. It was all so fast, that there was really no time for a more extreme reaction.

What does 'tagged' mean in this context?
English is my second language, and i am still learning the slang and phrases.
Anyway, hope one day this fake footage will not get abused by our AR enemies.

Z, "tagged" is a slang term for getting bitten by a venomous snake. IE: "getting tagged."

More generally, in English, it is often used to mean "hit", so someone might get "tagged" by a punch, a baseball or maybe even a bullet (less common).

Clearing an isle for a mamba is nothing more than polite, and I would do the same. Maybe actual spontaneous reactions are not the same as thought out attempts to create legislative panic.
