in closer and closer to get a photo or video in the parking area. The bison stamped and tore at the ground and snorted like a bull. My son said "Dad! Turn on your video, he's going to charge at that father!" We were yelling at the families to back off and move away. I forgot about video, but now wished I had a clip like this showing what NOT to do near a wild animal at that park.

Also: look how close the person taping is to the animal! They are dang lucky THEY were not the one tossed in the air!

And yes, the hapless girl 'stuck the landing'. Like a toss of a coin, though, she COULD have landed on her head...with a broken neck.
