For once, a Stormtrooper didn't die.

You may want to judge this guy from the start for wearing a stormtrooper costume. He is actually raising money for charity by walking across Austrailia in the Stormtrooper costume. Scott Loxley, who has raised $40,000 for the Monash Children’s Hospital so far, was on day 277 of his 15,000km journey across Australia, when he came across a King Brown snake.

“It was a big old King Brown” said Scott. “And he’s lunged at me and bit me in the shin”. Mr Loxley was saved from the snake’s deadly venom by his plastic Stormtrooper armour.

“The armour actually protected me and stopped the bite,” Mr Loxley said, laughing in his video. I could feel the teeth on the plastic, scraping, but the armour actually stopped something.”

“So all those people that rag on the old Stormtroopers, you know, ‘the armour doesn’t do this it, doesn’t do that’, it stopped a snake bite and probably saved my life today” said Scott.
