It's off to a fast start already this year! A list of incidents involving people trying to obtain the coveted Darwin Award. I will keep you up to date of all the stupid tourist tricks.
Must get the best Selfie ever! Hug all trees and animals, "they like me!"
With the travel ban on China, the incidents have really slowed down so far this year. The Chinese seem to be the most clueless about hairy forest creatures that can kill you and are always good for several incidents a year. Glad to see Californians are trying to pick up the slack. How does one live to the age of 72, being that stupid? :-) [Reply]
Look, bottom line is that you'd get fucked up. No, you probably wouldn't change the outcome a ton. But if you were walking within 10 yards of a buffalo and saw it charging, you really don't think your first reaction would be to at least grab your child and try to get out of the way?
Those two just peaced out and left their elementary aged child fend for herself. That's shitty and I don't see any argument to the contrary.
If I was that close to the kid as it appears in that video I'd definitely be grabbing the kid regardless if the kid was mine or not. It would be instinctual and I've been a teacher for years but I gotta think most people would too. [Reply]
Really, going to pet the baby buffalo with the mother nearby? Stupid actions results in bad results!

UPDATE: Mechaley reports this morning that the victim, a 54 year old Iowa woman, somehow escaped serious injury in the incident. He says, according to eyewitnesses, the woman had gotten off the motorcycle on which she was a passenger and was attempting to approach a buffalo calf when another adult bison charged her catching her belt and jeans on its horn and swung her around violently. She was apparently saved when her pants came off and she fell to the ground unconscious. He says at that point the attacking animal ran off along with the rest of the herd.

Police are on the lookout for the attacker, who is described as 5'-6" tall, stocky, lots of facial hair, and very horny. [Reply]
