First of all, don't mess with bison. They are big strong animals and can kill.
BUT... watch the video
That was an older couple, walking on the boardwalk with what I assume is a grandchild.
That bison came from a distance to go after them. Not sure what they could have done differently. They weren't going to outrun the bison.
The guy that got the worst of it was a hero and probably saved the kids life.
He came from a distance to get between the bison and the kid. He could have just stayed back and let the weak get really hurt.
Side Note - Since there was a boardwalk trail, not sure why the guy that saved the kid was off walking in the grass. Yellowstone has lots of thermal activity and they don't want people off the path.
Watched video a second time. Maybe the guy getting rammed by the bison was the kids dad and he left the kid to walk with the grandparents.
It was kind of a nightmare scenario.
