I know a lot of us are into bikes (I have yet to post pictures of my vintage DG framed BMX bike...).
Anyhow, check out this dude get rocked by an antelope in South Africa:

Looked to me like the critter was gunnin for the rider! Thank goodness he was wearin a helmet. Can sure tell it scattered his chickens though!

That could have ended up much nastier than a broken helmet and a light head wound. O_O

Saw that on a local news website, but when I clicked their link video I got nothing. Thanks for posting it, that was quite a hit.

Looks like he sees it coming too, surprised he didn't react differently, must have been shear bewilderment. Yeah, that antelope was definitely gunning for him!

You can tell why this happened though. After the "attack", you can hear the guy on the ground making noises like a female in heat. The poor antilope thought the biker was a fast moving piece of ass and just wanted to mate! Imagine his suprise (and pain) when he broke his prick on the guys helmet! This should have the Lion King sound track playing -"The circle oooooooffff liiiiife! -J

So I do have to ask, WTF are you dumb enough to ride a bicycle.through the safari, and not expect something to happen?

That guy wasn't wearing his Hans device either!

Leatt Brace...... XC boys typically don't.

The neck brace comes AFTER the accident.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I imagined the rider saying while pointing at the charging wildlife, "Hey, now there's an animal that would be cool to see up close!"

That Leatt brace is pretty cool, back in the 80's we used a neck brace (a foam collar) in karting.

Well for him... maybe. Me, I have one/had one with me and just decided not to wear it cause it's not comfortable with my underarmor. NEVER AGAIN (comfort or not)!

My calm before my storm. In my best Homer Simpson voice. Note my buddy has his on and I don't, not does my wife.
