Lol... Elephants have been said to be very intelligent animals. Maybe it liked the bicycle and just wanted to "play"

I'm not sure why the guy didn't take to his heels sha o... But he posed a risk to himself playing "human ball on the floor" - just one stump and all his bowels will be out!

The male voice was screaming "Pardon" - hehe.. She elephant don dey hear French ni
I think so too. If the elephant was aggressive they won't be that close

They are also very dangerous depending on their mood. They kill several hundreds humans yearly.

Playing dead is equally bad.

The elephant will just stamp you to death.

According to Mr. Bear Grylls of Ultimate Survival, your best move is to time it very well and wait for the elephant to come to you, then you dive or jump aside.

He says elephants have good sense of smell but not so good eyesight.

So once you are clear of its view, your chances of making it to safety is slightly increased.
The elephant was already on him so no chance he could outrun it.
Staying down was the best move at that point, the elephant no longer saw him as a threat and diverted its attention to the bicycle, then he was able to get away.
A mistimed run would have been disastrous.

Do you think the guy will still have energy to even start devising ways to dodge the elephant after the beast must have manhandled him?

The guy was not staying down because it was his strategy.

The guy has been completely knocked out by fear. grin grin grin

Who's that man making the hell of a noise in the background with the "farapeh"? And why was the attacked guy acting dead instead of taking to his heels? That beast could have crushed him. That was a great risk.

Sounds like they are from ivory coast though.
The noise maker was instrumental in saving the boy by distracting the elephant and giving the correct instructions.
You cannot outrun an elephant, and it may let up if it feels you are not a threat, running suddenly will usually not be good if it is already on you.

Much safer than trying to escape.

He was absolutely right in being patient and calculating the right time to run.

That elephant was in good mood, she could have trampled him. It was even the elephant that was pushing him away, trying to chase him away but dude refused to crawl or run away like he was paralysed or something.

He made grave mistake. Did you see how that elephant was pushing him away? He wasted too much time rolling on the ground, that elephant was gentle

Wow really?? shocked shocked. Hmm

I was wondering if the elephant broke his leg reason he couldn't get up despite the yelling but when he eventually stood up and took off I was angry that he took a great risk cos at some point, the elephant raised its leg to crush him which made the farapay guy yell louder disturbing my ears... So it got me really annoyed. Lol...

So, an elephant can outrun a man with its Hugh size? The guy was smart then.

Thanks though.

The fastest a human can run is about 25km/h and the the laziest elephant will sprint at 44km/h while and really big healthy young bulll will hit sprints of 50km/h ..don't play yourself

You can imagine! Maybe like one other guy quoted................"Running would have been a threat to himself as he can't possibly outrun the elephant"

It would have been more risky if he made attempt to run at the wrong time. He needed to be sure there was a distance that the elephant cannot reached immediately before he make attempt to run.
I don't understand French but o know that when elephant attack at close range, one is expected to take few major cautions. 1. try to avoid the elephant stepping on you, 2. Don't position yourself in such a way that the elephant can easily lift you up.
