I believe it totally inappropriate for any of us armchair quarterbacks to second guess who should have done what by simply watching two poor quality video clips. The only thing I dare say is that I'm glad that I wasn't the one that ended up with deep bacteria filled bleeding holes in my shoulder after being used as a lion chew toy.

Holy shit!!!!!! DG hunting indeed!!!!!!

It is entirely appropriate to comment, that is one of the very reasons for a PHs existence, to ensure things don't go south in a big hurry. It does look like the PH's rifle discharged as he was trying to unlock it, fortunately it was pointing in a safe direction and nobody else got hurt, and he looked to be wearing a handgun on his hip, if so for christ sake draw the fucking thing it and put a bullet in the head of the still moving lion. Sorry but it all looked to be an incompetent fuck up, one I wouldn't be paying a PH for.

My thoughts on the handgun too. Also if my rifle was U/S I would be grabbing the mauled blokes rifle and shooting the downed but not dead lion if no handgun.

I would like to know all the details as the video may not show all reasons for the oops moment. Also, as said it was the wrong situation for the client to be on the sticks. Maybe for first shot but should be off them for any follow up shots or if quarry starts to move fast in any direction but straight at you you need to be off the sticks. This is just my opinion.
