Yellowstone visitor gored after failing to yield to approaching bison

CODY, WYO. -- A Massachusetts man was badly injured Saturday when he was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park after failing to retreat as the animal advanced toward him.

The man, in his mid-50s, has not been identified by the National Park Service pending notification of family members. He suffered a broken collarbone, shoulder blade, several ribs and a groin injury when he was tossed nearly 10 feet in the air and pinned to the ground.

He was flown to a hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho and is expected to recover, according to information released Monday by the Yellowstone public affairs office.

The incident happened near the Norris campground when the man allowed the bull bison to approach within a few feet of where he was sitting and refused to move away, park officials said. He did not taunt the animal, they said.  ...

The law of the sea states that the more manuverable of two vessels in conflict must yield the right of way.

I used to own a 26 ft mid cabin and was always incredulous at the way the jetskiers ignored that rule.

This sort of explains why the rule exists. I'd be willing to bet he gets it now.

Oh,  there you go, showing off your "rules of the sea" knowledge. Besides everybody knows jetskiers (aka organ doners) have right of way over all other craft including day markers & pilings.
