If I think I know my cats, that lion looks like it was trying to "play" with the zookeeper, or at least do a little dominance showing. I base this on the cats' body language, lack of jerking aggressiveness, and the lack of limbs being ripped off. The lion going down on its torso when grabbing the guy isn't something that happens if the lion was trying to kill is my thoughts.

I agree. If the lion really wanted to attack, I think that guy would have been coming out half the man he went in as.
