A Little Girl Getting Tossed A Million Feet Into The Air By A Charging Bison Is Scary As Shit

NBC News- A 9-year-old Florida girl was injured after a bull bison charged her and sent her flying into the air at Yellowstone National Park on Monday. The unidentified girl was with a group of people in the Old Faithful Geyser area of the park in Wyoming, standing within five to 10 feet of the bison before the animal charged, The National Park Service said in a press release Tuesday.

The National Park Service said in a statement that the girl was “assessed and treated by a park emergency medical providers, and later taken to and released from the Old Faithful Clinic.”

HOLY SHIT MAN! In all of my years of blogging, that’s one of the craziest and scariest videos I’ve ever seen. One second everything was fine (well, as fine as things can be when you’re standing within 10 feet of a 2,000-pond wild animal) then the next second, CHAOS. The good news is it sounds like the little girl is okay, the bad news is she’ll never forget that day she got tossed a million feet in the air by a ginormous charging bison.

Call me an ol’ fashioned coward but you’ll never ever find me within charging range of a bison. I get that people go to places like Yellowstone to get close to nature and its inhabitants but those folks in the video were just a litttttttttttttttttttle too close to the wildlife. Then again, I played high school football, so I could just lower my shoulder and give that bison a taste of what it’s like to feel the wrath of #40 from Cedar Rapids Kennedy. But still, I’ll never go anywhere near a bison, that’s a promise.

With all said, my friend Young Pageviews is probably already on his way to Yellowstone to make a video with that bison.
