Bison Throws Man in Yellowstone | Bangor News

A 65-year-old man was violently tossed by a bison in Yellowstone, suffering multiple fractures after being thrown from his feet — a chilling reminder that these massive, seemingly docile animals can accelerate up to 35 mph and pack a devastating punch. Out for a walk with his grandson near Bridge Bay Campground, McDaniel was targeted by the bison, leaving his grandson unharmed but him hospitalized. The doctor confirmed severe bone damage, and McDaniel himself said the brutal landing was the real culprit. With bison weighing up to 2,000 pounds and standing six feet tall, Yellowstone sees about two such attacks annually — a stark warning to always keep your distance from wildlife, even when they appear calm.
