Elk 1 : Idiot 0

Funny incident occured in a Colorado park when a man didn't listen to another man's warning and just missed what can be a lifetime injury. Idiots abound and they never fail to give us some good laugh, but this time it could have been fatal. Thankfully, not another injury happened but I guess the bloke got a good lesson. The link is attached for people willing to read the full story.
Eric Burley captured the scary moment an elk roaming through Estes Park launched at a bystander, knocking him to the ground after he was warned to get out of it's way.

Ego, mankinds biggest weakness including women, you do not get away either but males for sure. This is what happens when you think you better. Period. You are no better than any living creature on earth.

He's not idiot, thankful he was not harm much by the elk. He's a traveller perhaps and thought elks were humans friendly. He also learned a lesson out of that bad experience. I pity him actually.

@Sojourn , he was just passing, he's from other place. Maybe he was absent minded.

Just like bull fighting in Spain, it is elk fighting albeit a sudden one.

People always need to be respectful of wildlife, or things like this will happen.

Sorry to hear. People aren't much cautious sometimes and it might lead to fatal incidents

@Sojourn oh ok dear. Most animals don't do harm unless they are triggered or harmed

I think this person probably triggered the elk this time by encroaching into its territory.
