Rhino Gores Tourist 5 Seconds After Photo - Stupid Is As Stupid Does
 

OK it's Friday.

This falls into the "what the hell were you thinking" category.

"Chantal Beyer and her husband Sven Fouche, left, pose for a photograph with rhinos at the Aloe Ridge Nature Reserve near Johannesburg South Africa last weekend. Just after the photo was taken, the closest rhino attacked Beyer and its horn penetrated Beyer's chest from behind, resulting in a collapsed lung and broken ribs."

Stupid is as stupid does.

I'm surprised more of this shit doesn't happen in Yellowstone with all of the times I've seen morons leaning out of car windows to touch buffalo or trying to walk up closer to elk to get a good photo.

That's the problem with modern living, we've outpaced Darwin by too wide of a margin.

Wow, this is a rare case. But one should be careful.

I bet most of us would have listened to the Tour Guide.

I hope she gets well soon.

I will sue the rhinos, the tour guide, the reservation, the country....wait, this is not US.

No damn way I would have listened to that tour guide. Rhinos are huge and aggressively territorial. Stupid.

Reports indicate the Rhino didn't like Sven Douche's Billabong shirt.

This has to fall under the joke about "guess what race this person is." Lol

(NO RACIAL)

The difference in this case is that the tour guide told them to get closer and was taking the picture.

I thought this thread was about Al Gore. I'd sue him anyway

Sue tour guide-make new couch out of rhino

What country are they from?

ban assault rhinos

I didn't realize left-leaning Republicans were so dangerous, or that Al was considered one. Always thought he was a Dem.

The game park owner was the dumbass who told them to get closer. How bout that?

"The Beeld newspaper reported Tuesday that Chantal Beyer said the game park owner snapped pictures and suggested that she "stand just a little bit closer" seconds before the attack. Photos show Beyer and her husband only feet away from two rhinos."

You can see the rhino fixing to hit the target on her back.

Can you imagine that nasty long ass rhino horn going through your back and into your lungs?

JFC.

Better yet. What planet are they from?

It's a freaking wild animal. With a giant horn no less. Idiots.

wow, Darwin award. How stupid can people be?

Nah, they'll probably sue. Other countries have laws/lawyers too.

This was pretty negilgent conduct by the owner.

In a way, they're fortunate that this happened before the guide took them over to the lion petting area underneath the shade trees.

JFC do you understand simple english?

he said it was terrible BUT most people would have listened to the tour guide and stood there. he blamed the tour guide to make it simple for a guy like you

That is #**%ing funny!!!!

All those "ban this", "ban that" jokes popping up lately are pretty lame.. but I have to admit that one was funny.

Ban ThaVirus

People pull that with the bison around here all the time in and around Yellowstone Park. Generally it results in an extended hospital visit, or a dirt nap.

"Hey Wang, stand a little closer to that big dumb slow looking bison."

"Oh crap!!"

I so horny

did she die?

Not to stereotype, but Asian tourists at national parks are the worst.

They also don't run very fast which makes for better entertainment.

Shouldn't be invading their eckosystem to start with.

Run.! It's O.J.!

Are bison fast?

The guy is smiling.


WTF?!

Doesn't matter as long as you aren't the slowest person in the group.

He knows he can outrun the wife..............

LOL "I was thinking that as soon as I read it" ! Rep to you.

Thread is worthless without after pics

ROFL

I can't believe they don't have a camera

When I did the Africa thing back in 2008, we drove around in a convertible land rover with our guide. He told us never to get out of the land rover, and had an interesting reason. He said that the animals are used to seeing the land rovers and just viewed them as some other big herbivore wandering around. But if we got out of the land rovers, all of a sudden there was some strange small creature there instead of a big herbivore that they see all of the time. So there's a chance that it could freak them out.

As an example, we were near some giraffes and there was nothing else around. He stopped the land rover and said, "Okay, get out." We got out and the giraffes freaked out and started running away. They were used to the land rover and it didn't scare them, but the second we hit the ground they were off and running. It was kind of cool.

With the big things like rhinos and cape buffalo, you figured that you were pretty safe even if they didn't like the vehicle. They can ram it, but as long as you don't fall out you're fine. The elephants could just reach in and pluck you out, but didn't seem to have any interest in doing so, even though a couple of times they were right next to us. We couldn't find any lions, but there was an enormous leopard at one point, and he was the most worrisome to me because you'd think a cat would jump right on board and drag you out. But he paid us no attention at all.

The funny thing was how we saw the leopard. He was resting under a tree, and another land rover saw him first and called our guide, so we went over there too. There were some giraffes in the area, and the first land rover saw the leopard because the giraffes were standing stock still staring at the leopard for the longest time. They didn't run, but they just stood there staring a hole through the leopard. It made it pretty easy to spot him.

Of course, after telling us to always stay in the vehicle, we at some point had a flat tire on a night ride and the spare didn't fit and the cell phones were in a dead zone, so we had to walk to a ranger station in the dark. That's a time when you keep your head on a swivel.

dayam!
buffalo pulling some Matrix shit on 'em!

Very and they don't look like they would be. They can run over 30 MPH, a lot faster than any slap dick tourist.

My question is who is the old white guy pretending to be a shrub?

Why is there a walkway in the middle of a Bison field?

more people should do this.

Wanted to call you out and........yeah.......they should...

ROFL

That was an awfully patient bison...

They can go up to 32 mph and probably more.


Bottom line is, it will outrun you.

Good thing that Rhino didn't have an assault rifle.

Um........they do that.

yeah that's real funny Dad! real ****ing funny.

It makes it easier to find the bodies.

That, and Yellowstone has some occasional places where you take a step and the ground collapses and melts your foot with superheated steam.

The end of that video is interesting with the adult grinning after his kid was about to trampled beneath a one-ton wild animal. Yeah, pretty funny.

....and the victim was rushed off to the hospital for emergency rhinoplasty surgery!!

In the long term, a few broken ribs is a small price to pay for a lifetime of telling "I was gored by a rhino" stories at parties.

Them rhinos got 'em some nice sets o' ribs I wished were smokin' hot on my grill right about now.

Yes it was. When they get pissed they start throwing dirt with their legs and head along with their tail sticking out, or up. The thing gave a lot of signs before it took after Jr. The kid got lucky.

Here's one teaching a dude how to fly. :D

I guess I just don't get the Aussies...

rhino liner on your tailgate

I have to admit that I got into the water with sharks on a dare and punched a shark. And yes, there was a lot of alcohol involved.

At least there wasn't anything about them being Chiefs fans ............

FYP

The rhino closest to them in the picture even looks like he's thinking 'I'm gonna stab the shit outta this asshole'.

RUN CHARLIE!

Jesus H Christ.

Stupidity 101.

It's a Ray Lewis rhino...

I hope she got the point about photo safety.

Just think, one inch to the left or right and that rhino could have hit a major organ.

Like when that jackass Steve Irwin "the crocodile hunter" got killed by the sting ray he was molesting.

Only when they play the Chiefs.

Indeed, a near Darwin Award.

Intentional?

Yes. This. Shameful conduct by the owner. The world will be better off with him reduced to penury.

Moral of the story?

Women should never get too close to horny animals.

Bet the rhino was thinking....'hey baby got a little rhino in you?'
